Say Good-bye to the Overprocessed Foodlike Substances Your Grandparents Wouldn’t Recognize
How can you tell if a food is green? There’s a quick trick lots of folks are talking about today. Ask yourself, “Would my grandmother (or for some of us, great-grandmother) recognize this thing as actual food?"
This step is about giving your health a boost by avoiding products that your grandmother would not recognize as food. Sure Nana knew what the heck chicken was, but would she have recognized nuggets of poultry bits infused with chickeny flavor? She may have enjoyed a bit of farm-fresh cheese, but would she recognize a block of yellow dairylike stuff intended to be nuked into a second life of dip?
Would anything in a plastic tube be considered food by grandmère?

Thanks for the great link. I have it bookmarked. My favorite tip concerns butter--I would rather have one pat of real butter than a whole tub of processed stuff. I'm also a great fan of brown rice and really good olive oil.
...you have some great ideas.
I wish families would spend more time together trying some of them
I like to use this tactic too. It works really well. Plus it gives me a good excuse to make something from scratch. Butter and olive oil is our preferred fats too. It may take a little more time to whip up, but you're right, the results are well worth the work and wait.
