Earlier today, I was captivated by a New York Times article. Michael Pollan (Author of "The Omnivore's Dilemma) asks readers to contribute their "food rules." I did -- my entry is on page 59. I hope you'll add your own "rules," too.
In today's Healthy Living post, however, I would like to excerpt from the very first comment added in reply to Mr. Pollan's request. It's by Dr. Joel Galati, a liver specialist (and apparently a very early riser). I am a new fan! Here's what he has to say:
"... As a physician, many of the ills we face are directly food related. How we eat, the rules we live by, are passed from one generation to another. It is clear now why we see diabetes, obesity, and heart disease in families. While genetics play a role, the eating “rules” are the same..."
Now that's my kind of talk! My own $ .02? Don't be afraid to challenge the rules. Sometimes the "black sheep" wins!
By the way, in case you're curious and don't want to flip through 59 pages of comments to find mine, here it is: Prepare fresh foods from scratch. Take advantage of every opportunity to include more vegetables.
How about yours? After you've contributed to Mr. Pollan's research over on the NY Times site, why not share them here? It could turn out to be verrrrrry interesting!
