Practical Foodly Wisdom
October 23rd, 2009
Ok, so maybe “foodly” isn’t a real word, but my boy Elmer put me onto a great piece published by the New York Times that has some real advice about what to eat.
“Earlier this year, Michael Pollan posted a request for reader’s rules about eating on Well, Tara Parker Pope’s health blog. Within days, more than 2,500 responses were received…”
There are quite a few good ones, but my top three were:
1. From my Romanian grandmother: “Breakfast, you should eat alone. Lunch, you should share with a friend. Dinner, give to your enemy.” – Irina A. Dumitrescu
2. “You don’t get fat on food you pray over.” This is from a friend who points out that meals prepared at home, served at the table and given thanks for are more appreciated and more healthful than food eaten on the run. – Carol Jackson
3. Avoid snack foods with the “oh” sound in their names: Doritos, Fritos, Cheetos, Tostitos, Hostess Ho Hos, etc. – Donna David
Of course, I’d have to say #3 takes it for me, but that’s the one that most directly deals with sugar addiction.
Check out Pollan’s 17 other favorites and see which ones you might be able to start applying today.
