In a nutshell, we go for a diet high in natural fats, moderate in animal based protein (though it may actually look high to some), and very low in sugars/starches. <BR/><BR/>I try to view food, diet, and nutrition through a "paleo history lens" with one eye, and the other eye on regional cuisine considerations, aka "slow food". I also keep an eye on seasonality and locality.<BR/><BR/>Modern industrial, fractionated, and "improved" foods are playing an ever smaller role in my family's diet. More and more I am preparing food with a simple, peasant "hearth style".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595504385746526723.post-72928022012379350512008-03-15T13:37:00.000-04:002008-03-15T13:37:00.000-04:00For our family, healthy food is eating "whole food...For our family, healthy food is eating "whole foods" - food as close as possible to the way nature made it. We also consider eating healthy to mean eating a well-rounded meal each time we sit down together - a fruit, a veggie, a meat & a starch. Ed & I adopted this attitude before we had children, and now we are so thankful that it is a habit for us as we try to feed our son well and teach him good eating habits.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10067831645040029841noreply@blogger.com
