Mr. Pollan, I have read a lot of your food books. "Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize" sticks with me. My great grandmothers were Irish, Mexican, and Greek. Just imagine all the wonderful foods with which they were familiar. I don't think, "my great grandmothers wouldn't eat that." Instead, I think, "what absolutely delicious things would my great grandmothers cook and eat?" Real food is delicious and beautiful. When cooked at home, it is also filled with love.

I was diagnosed with being Bipolar, but no meds worked and made me lethargic without helping my symptoms. I found out I had food allergies, and that soy, wheat, dairy, eggs, shrimp and peanuts were causing my anxiety and depression. Once I stopped eating those things my symptoms disappeared. The doctors were confused, and that sent me on my personal food journey to educate myself on the effects of food itself!

I can honestly say that I do not have any serious or chronic health ailments. Frankly, I’m always a bit shocked by this when I come back from annual doctors visits and lab testing. I’m a compulsive overeater by nature, in recovery from it and now at my goal weight. I received profound words of wisdom from being in recovery that changed my life around. You could say it “set me up” with a “policy” around food and eating habits. Here it is: Eat NO white sugar, brown sugar. Or corn syrup. Don’t eat when you are experiencing mouth hunger. Eat 50 or under carbs per day. Eat lots of dark green and colored veggies. Eat berries, not bananas. Don’t eat bread or pasta if you are a compulsive over eater. Fast as often as is comfortable for you. Eat organic where possible. Eat wild caught fish. Drink lots of water all day, preferably with electrolytes. Salt is good for you; just don’t overdo it. Coffee is good for you. (If it wasn’t, everyone in South America would be dead by now, lol.) try to eat a variety of sweet, sour (fermented), salty and bitter tasting foods. Be a vegan, vegetarian or pescatarian - whichever you can handle. (Doing this will remove a variety of problematic, chronic health ailments).

"No grain, no pain" sticks with me!
Dr Peter Osborne's book title, as well besides being so true!

I'm pretty sure my grandmother had no idea what kale was, so I don't know if this rule is so great

The better I feel the less sensitive I am to food or scent or other environment based discomfort. What if its the other way around and people are chasing their tails trying to eliminate minor irritants?

Eat at home, as unprocessed as possible.

"Du bist, was du isst."
A german saying meaning:
You are what you eat.

[maxdecleyn]

- something that has an ingredient list, is not food
- what I should eat is the same as what you should eat, we're the same
- food is determined by specie
- food combinations are governed by the physiology of enzymes

Don’t eat when you are “mouth” hungry, only when you are stomach hungry.

[saskia.h]

Don’t eat meat or fish that traveled farther than you could drive in a day.

Never eat anything bigger than your head. 😂
