Nutritionism
Wow, no sooner do I invoke "The Omnivore's Dilemma", than the New York Times has an article by the author, Michael Pollan.It's pretty lengthy, so I'll boil it down for you:
1. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables
2. Don't eat anything processed, regardless of the health claims
3. Eat less meat. Consider it a side dish or a flavoring
4. Nutrition has been too focused on the individual components (Saturated fat, omega 3s, vitamins), and thus has lost sight of the overall picture - the interactions, the idea that two food components in a food acting in concert may be what's really important.
5. Eat less...lower cal diets seem to make you live longer
And if anyone is interested in eating locally grown food, the place for farmers markets, CSAs, etc is Local Harvest
(than? then? I never get that one right...)
