Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
That, more or less, is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy.

Once, food was all you could eat, but today there are lots of other edible foodlike substances in the supermarket. These novel products of food science often come in packages festooned with health claims, which brings me to a related rule of thumb: if you’re concerned about your health, you should probably avoid food products that make health claims. Why? Because a health claim on a food product is a good indication that it’s not really food, and food is what you want to eat.

#1 - Sat Mar 6, 2010 9:15 AM ESTI'm 35 and only now starting to realize exactly how little I know about the proper -- that is, optimal --feeding and diet of this animal called 'human.' It's a bit of a surprise, really; and yet I guess I'm probably as "informed," or assumed to be, as most Americans. Kinda sad.
Thanks for your comment!
