Fun NY Times Article

Check out this article regarding nutrition. It's about 12 pages or so of reading, so in the interests of getting to bed in time, I skipped to the last page, so that I could give our faithful blog readers the low down.

Basically the author is suggesting that if you want to live longer and healthier, you should:

  • Eat more like a vegetarian or an omnivore
  • Cook stuff and plant a garden
  • Pick a culture (any culture) and eat like them. Theory is that it worked for them and kept them going for centuries, so probably pretty healthy.
  • Eat normal food, not processed junk with ingredients that you don't recognize
  • Eat less - calorie restricted diets seem like a sure-fire way to avoid cancer and live longer

In case you need some incentive to actually do some reading....

Ian says, "this article was very informative". I actually made that up, his actual quote was, "I have nothing to say aside from that guy is a nut."

Pretty basic stuff. Doesn't everyone know this?
