Food Rules-Day 1: Eat Food

These days this is easier said than done, especially when seventeen thousand new products show up in the supermarket each year, all vying for your food dollar.  But most of these items don't deserve to be called food - I call them edible foodlike substances.  They're highly processed concoctions designed by food scientists, consisting mostly of ingedients derived from corn & soy that no normal person keeps in their pantry, and they contain chemical additives with which the human body has not been long acquainted.  Today much of the challenge of eating well comes down to choosing real food and avoiding these industrial novelties.
