I was watching comedians on youtube. George Lopez had something about fast food, and in the list of related videos was stuff called "Nutrition by Natalie." This girl is a registered dietitian who leans toward raw foodism, but is not totally a raw foodist. She supposedly eats uber-healthily, according to a meal plan on her site. Her plan definitely has merit, but it looks like not enough food for an average, active person. She generally avoids processed foods, added sugar, and red meat and pork(?). She also advocates organic dairy, goat milk products, and organic meats. My recent reading about dairy and meats has actually sparked some thought on switching from standard to organic products.
I wonder if I could actually follow her plan myself, though I would definitely require more calories. I'm also going to check out Ezekiel sprouted grain products, since there's a "health food store" very close by that has them. I hate the term "health food" because there's no such thing really. Yes, there are foods that are healthier than others and promote health, but you can find these in normal stores. They're called fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds. You don't need special products with added nutrients, like I suspect many "health foods" are.
Something else I learned from Natalie is that quinoa is a complete protein. I have yet to actually buy and use it, but that fact makes me very interested now, particularly with my decreased meat intake lately.
