Real Food For Real People - Ashley Koff (HuffPo)
What’s not “Real Food?” Anything that starts, ends or pit-stops through a lab for alteration is not “Real.” It’s pretty simple. These include items that have to tell you what they are by their name “Cheese Food,” for example, or “Blue Lake #5.” Or items that have hyphenated or otherwise connected, confusing or unintelligible descriptions: “high-fructose corn syrup” (despite the commercials where Geek gets Girl, this product isn’t a “Real Food” it’s “Real Science”), “texturized vegetable protein,” (vegetable protein is vegetable protein, it doesn’t need to have any further texture created), or partially hydrogenated oil (until you can show me how nature ‘partially’ hydrogenates anything, skip this one).
I've been paying a lot more attention to my nutrition lately and one theme that I see recurring (and that should be obvious, but is not always easy advice to follow) is to eat food that is Real.
