Myself in Self
Welcome to any new Self readers (Self-less ones, too) who wandered here after seeing my quote in the July 2007 issue. The magazine interviewed me, Amy, and Brett for tips about healthy eating.
A site whose most commented-on post covers making your own lard might not strike you as the most obvious place to look for health tips, but Melissa and I follow a number of "best practices." We don't eat processed food, we have a diverse diet, we eat slowly, and we drink wine often. My quote in the magazine says that if you give your body the time to appreciate your food, rather than just shoveling it in as if it's fuel, you give your system time to catch up and tell you it's full. Normal "healthy eating" reduces food to a grocery list of nutrients and calories that you can consume without thinking, and I think that's an unhealthy lifestyle.
