In defense of food

  • getting over nutritionism
    • principle: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants
    • Food defined
      • “DON’T EAT ANYTHING YOUR GREAT GRANDMOTHER WOULDN’T RECOGNIZE AS FOOD.”
      • “AVOID FOOD PRODUCTS CONTAINING INGREDIENTS THAT ARE A) UNFAMILIAR, B) UNPRONOUNCEABLE, C) MORE THAN FIVE IN NUMBER, OR THAT INCLUDE D) HIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP.”
      • “AVOID FOOD PRODUCTS THAT MAKE HEALTH CLAIMS.”
      • “SHOP THE PERIPHERIES OF THE SUPERMARKET AND STAY OUT OF THE MIDDLE.”
    • what to eat
      • “EAT MOSTLY PLANTS, ESPECIALLY LEAVES.”
      • “YOU ARE WHAT WHAT YOU EAT EATS TOO.” grass-fed
      • “BE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO TAKES SUPPLEMENTS. ”
    • how to eat
      • “PAY MORE, EAT LESS. What the French case suggests is that there is a trade-off in eating between quantity and quality.”“you don’t need a lot of food to have a rich food experience. Choose quality over quantity, food experience over mere calories.”
      • EAT MEALS. Don't snack all day. Share food with others and talk.
      • “DO ALL YOUR EATING AT A TABLE. No, a desk is not a table.”
      • “TRY NOT TO EAT ALONE. ”
      • CONSULT YOUR GUT. “Does this peach smell as good as it looks? Does the third bite of that dessert taste anywhere near as good as the first? I could certainly eat more of this, but am I really still hungry?” “ eating more slowly, and then consulting our sense of satiety, might help us to eat less.”
        • “Serve smaller portions on smaller plates; serve food and beverages from small containers (even if this means repackaging things bought in jumbo sizes); leave detritus on the table—empty bottles, bones, and so forth—so you can see how much you’ve eaten or drunk; use glasses that are more vertical than horizontal (people tend to pour more into squat glasses); leave healthy foods in view, unhealthy ones out of view; leave serving bowls in the kitchen rather than on the table to discourage second helpings.”
      • eat slowly. “slow” in the sense of deliberate and knowledgeable eating”. “Slow Food’s wager is that making time and slowing down to eat, an activity that happens three times a day and ramifies all through a culture, is precisely the wedge that can begin to crack the whole edifice.”
      • cook and if possible, plant a garden
