Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

Great words to live by. Check out an NYT Sunday Magazine essay by Michael Pollan.

"Humans deciding what to eat without expert help — something they have been doing with notable success since coming down out of the trees — is seriously unprofitable if you’re a food company, distinctly risky if you’re a nutritionist and just plain boring if you’re a newspaper editor or journalist."
I'm reminded of my great-grandfather, who ate eggs fried in bacon grease, pie for lunch and cigars after dinner for more than 80 years. Or was that George Burns?

Never mind; read the essay anyway.
