I first read Omnivore's Dilemma when it first came out in 2006 and it and Fast Food Nation are two of the big reasons I have changed what I buy when I am shopping for food. I hope you will make the time to watch this. Michael Pollan explains the American paradox, cultural eating vs nutrient eating, basic food rules and more.
What does eat real food mean? Eat foods that were raised or grown in a sustainable manner and are as close to their natural, unprocessed state as possible.

What is Healthy Anyways?
The more I learn and talk to people the more I realize that we all have different ideas of what healthy eating is. For me healthy eating means eating primarily organic whole foods, lots of veggies and sustainably raised, pastured meats, and sustainably caught fish. I am trying to incorporate more vegetarian meals into our diet, but I don't see myself becoming a vegetarian or vegan. I have friends that are both and they are happy and living well. I seem to need more protein..
I also don't really deprive myself of anything either, so when I want dessert I eat it. The same with french fries. The key for me is moderation. Most of the time I eat really well and I enjoy what I'm eating.
What is healthy eating for you? What makes you feel great? Or not so much? And what is your favorite indulgence?
