Let's say you're only going to eat "food."
I liked Michael Pollan's book "In Defense of Food," and have been thinking about what changes I'd have to make if I were to follow his suggestions to only eat real food - those suggestions loosely being: 1) Don't eat anything whose ingredients your grandmother wouldn't recognize as food 2) don't anything with ingredients you don't recognize 3) don't eat anything with more than 5 ingredients (unless you've put the >5 ingredients together yourself), 4) Don't eat anything with corn syrup, and 5) Don't eat any food that makes a health claim.
I guess the principal food that doesn't pass muster that I'd have to give up is Hellman's Light Mayonnaise, which I now actually prefer. But I think Pollan's suggestions are worthy, so I'm going to try real mayo again (I'm thinking Cain's).
How about you? What do you currently eat that isn't "food?"
