Update: Amazed at how hard this is in most restaurants, even after years of talk about America's obesity crisis! Just back from a week of traveling and was struck about how bad my diet got in a hurry and how "big" everyone was.
Sorry this post has taken so long, but let's get going, since a healthy diet is hard to explain and this post is going to be long.
How should we eat? We should eat foods as close to the way God made them, in the great variety He made them, seasoned with herbs that are natural and limit salt, sugar and anything processed.
Done. Could I go on with lots of details and suggestions? Of course, (hey, I'm from Mississippi, home of writers like Faulkner, Welty and Grisham, who must have been paid by the word!) but it really is that simple. Lots of fresh colorful vegetables, fresh lean meats-even wild game/fish, whole breads with minimal processing, and variety, and you generally have a healthy diet. While I don't follow them strictly, the kosher dietary laws work out to a large variety of foods, and if you look at where it was "applied" you see an abundance of olive trees-one of the healthiest oils possible for cooking and seasoning.
So go eat from the abundant variety God provided, watch those portion sizes, and be healthy!
