I could write a book on this subject! A lot of what people eat are "edible food-like substances," according to Michael Pollan. (Here's his <a href="http://michaelpollan.com/books/" rel="nofollow">website</a> with a list of books he's written.<br />I eats lots of fruits and vegetables and grains.<br /><br />I'm adding a comment because of your remark above about eating yogurt. We all need to eat some cultured food. Most cultures have their favorites such as sauerkraut.<br /><br />I hope you continue to post on this subject!Splendid Little Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732090154244573323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-35788400261806687882011-11-14T16:54:19.256+01:002011-11-14T16:54:19.256+01:00Haha, I eat at least one thing from each of those ...Haha, I eat at least one thing from each of those common phytochemical groups! :) I guess when you're a vegan it's hard not to. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-34346018115267079812011-11-13T02:04:58.928+01:002011-11-13T02:04:58.928+01:00Very informative, thank you!!Very informative, thank you!!ElfReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16022545534090853381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-6748679192791471332011-11-12T18:33:07.472+01:002011-11-12T18:33:07.472+01:00Meeling, I don't believe too many people actua...Meeling, I don't believe too many people actually eat for pleasure but I am glad I don't know many of them!

That's one thing I've noticed, growing up in Canada and traveling Europe a bit, the eating habits are quite different from here in the US...at least around where we live on the West Coast.<br /><br />I try really hard to feed myself & my family as much "fresh" anything as we can get...so much better for you. There is WAY too much pre-packaged foods and the objective to eat fast...I've never understood that one...eating a pleasure, it shouldn't be rushed!!Meelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416420120054309702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-7171958640541259412011-11-11T23:04:42.682+01:002011-11-11T23:04:42.682+01:00Sandy, you are so right!

I have noticed the same - when I don't eat meat I feel much better, and that is not only in the warm summer months :) One thing I must admit is that apart from the great amount of fruits and vegetables we eat at home, we also eat much homemade yogurt, which is way healthier than store-bought!Kanelstrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656658673748250383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-85097031620545976502011-11-11T22:50:11.835+01:002011-11-11T22:50:11.835+01:00I try to eat 90% fresh fruits, raw veggies, grains...I try to eat 90% fresh fruits, raw veggies, grains, and soy. Only 10% of dairy or meat during the week. <br />When I first started eating this way, I was amazed at how better I felt within a few days. I no longer wake up with headaches. I have not had a migraine in 6 years! I have more energy and I am rarely sick.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803925425249925354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-35281207324173686172011-11-11T21:46:20.539+01:002011-11-11T21:46:20.539+01:00Laurie, I laughed out loud when I read about ketch...Laurie, I laughed out loud when I read about ketchup! It is obsolete in our house to the same level as Coca-Cola. Fresh fruits and vegetables are great! We have salad with all our dinners.<br /><br />Isobel, I can imagine what life-changing experience that was for you! On the other hand I see it as enlightening, because it has given you chance to start a healthier lifestyle!Kanelstrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656658673748250383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-23084004473318764212011-11-11T21:12:08.825+01:002011-11-11T21:12:08.825+01:00When living in Canada, my husband was diagnosed wi...When living in Canada, my husband was diagnosed with food intolerances to the point of almost having nothing he COULD eat. The naturopath who found it out, put him on a stringent diet, introducing stuff gradually, so we found out exactly what was the problem. He also suggested that one never repeated the same ingredients in the main meal each day - i.e. beef all the time, etc. We picked up on that and now eat a different meat every day, together with plenty of different vegetables, and fruit. He's still going!Isobel Morrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562228276170917504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318789008187152060.post-79322332525419778362011-11-11T20:52:11.889+01:002011-11-11T20:52:11.889+01:00The hardest part for me is convincing my husband t...The hardest part for me is convincing my husband that ketchup isn't a vegetable!<br /><br />My family prefers raw vegetables to cooked, so I've stopped pushing the cooked variety and make sure I always have a big plate of fresh raw veggies in the fridge. If they can "grab them and go" they are more likely to choose healthy over junk food.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10243528123846801948noreply@blogger.com
