QUESTION OF THE DAY – Inspired by Michael Pollan’s article, my question is. What are your food rules?

Mine:

• Eat out only once or twice a week
• Eat as many whole and natural foods as possible
• Avoid white carbohydrates (white rice, white pasta, white bread)
• Avoid added sugar
• And Michael Pollan’s popular motto which many of us have adopted – “Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants”
