I devote a pretty significant amount of energy to thinking about what I should be eating. Unfortunately, a lot of these thoughts never make the transformation into action. Partly because I’m still living at home for the moment, and everything that entails, and partly because… well, there are a number of factors. But I’ve only been working on creating a more wholesome diet bits and pieces at a time, by either eliminating individual items one at a time, or choosing to eat more of a specific food.
It’s been on my to-do list to read more about food and health to really kick-start my food attack plan, and recently this New York Times article came along: Unhappy Meals. Thankfully it sums up a lot of my feelings about food pretty succinctly, and the suggestions for “what to eat” are sound and simple. (”Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”) I think I really needed to read something straightforward like this article to put me on an actual, concrete course to changing what I eat more completely. (Not that I have a really poor diet, but I’m an idealist and I want to eat as closely to the “right way” as possible.)
But yea, read that article. It’s a good one.
