I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM... WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!!!
So here is where I wish to encourage you to start…
1. Eat healthy food that tastes good. Thankfully, that’s actually pretty easy to do. Homemade cookies and muffins made from eggs, butter, coconut flour and honey; cooked collards drowning in bacon fat; grass-fed steak sprinkled with feta cheese; potatoes fried in Duck Fat. Real food is good food.
2. Eat food in its natural form. Cows don’t produce skim milk. Apples don’t smother themselves in pesticides. Seeds don’t chemically extract themselves into oil. Keeping as many hands out of my food as possible is important.
3. Trust that your body knows what it should eat. There’s a reason why a baked potato doesn’t taste very good without any butter. And why chocolate sounds good when you’re stressed. Take the blame off of yourself for eating what you want to eat.
4. Make ethical food choices. Animals shouldn’t be tortured, abused, and kept in cages, knee-deep in their own waste, just so that I can eat a cheap hamburger. There is a better way. Sustainable farming doesn’t involve the mistreatment of animals, the environment, the workers who produce the food, or the people that eat it.
And please take this to heart…
1. Most doctors, nutritionists, government agencies, or food manufacturers have no business telling you and I what we should and shouldn’t be eating. Doctors usually receive less than 20 hours of nutrition education in their entire academic career. Nutritionists registered with the American Dietetic Association are sponsored by Kraft foods, Coca-Cola, and Mars Candy. Government agencies like to protect the billion-dollar food industries that give them money. We can do better by ourselves than to listen to these folks about food.
2. Don’t blame bad health on the nutrients we need to live. Calories aren’t bad for you. Neither are carbs. Or fat. There’s a bigger picture to look at when bodies aren’t functioning as they should. Food is not the enemy.
3. Don’t fall into dietary creed. Food is not my religion. It doesn’t give me magical powers of becoming impervious to cancer. I don’t believe everything anyone says about what I should eat, and I don’t think you should, either. I worship no health diet gurus. I bow to no specific set of nutrients. I appreciate food for what it is — a source of nourishment and pleasure. And I just do the best I can to eat and live healthfully, without going completely crazy over it.
4. Don’t follow all the rules. Food should be fun. I refuse to stress out over eating a perfect diet, and I’m not above eating cake for breakfast.
