Eat Mostly Plants

Posted by Robyn Harrison Mar 30, 2008

First, we'll review last week.

Rule number one: Eat Food.

If that seems like a ridiculous statement to you, read last week's blog or, better yet, read Michael Pollan's whole book.

This week, rule Number Two is: Eat mostly plants.

I love this rule. It goes right along with eat local, eat fresh, eat organic. Grow your own garden, shop the farmers' market, haunt the produce aisles of the grocery store.

Notice Pollan says "mostly" plants. He says to eat like an omnivore, but be aware of where your meat comes from and remember that "you are what you eat" as well as "you are what you eat eats, too."

Local, fresh, organic goes for meat as well as produce.
