This weekend I was lolling about in bed in the morning watching one of those morning shows on TV. good morning show, today show, whatever. There was a segment on about food. I wasn't paying close attention but it was some skinny girl going on about nutrition blah blah blah. I think it might have been about the evils of processed food or something. Because what did make me take notice was when the girl said you should only eat the kinds of food that your great grandmother ate, you should only eat food that your great grandmother would recognize at food.
Hmmm. I remember my great grandmother. And she dipped snuff and fried everything she cooked in lard. I'm thinking maybe not the best example. She also had a reputation for being a bitch on wheels but that's really neither here nor there nutritionally speaking.
