Vinny- I’m all for it. Its about quality and simple pleasure, not quantity and excess! See you in the kitchen

Too many eat in restaurants as a way of life, where the servings are wastefully large and little attention is paid to nutrition. Vinny says, “Let’s get back into our kitchens:) “

Ha ha, I am no expert. I have a number of friends who are vegan and athletic. I am an omnivore but as I get older I become more and more aware of how food affects me. It’s hard for me to imagine how people feel that eat a “typical Midwestern diet” and don’t exercise. They can’t be too happy. But since we have so much eating tied to events and rewards, it is hard to think of it as merely “fuel”. I think you can do both – eat healthy and enjoy it.

I’d love to be able to get into schools with my book – I think we need to return to food education where the emphasis is on nutrition and family meals. Last year one school ran an after-school program using Vinny’s book – the kids were all over his blog and were anxious to share what they learned with their parents. Just what I’d hoped for! So far, it’s been a one-off…

Vinny, very true. One of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard of is people not eating fresh fruit because of the sugar content! Not sure how we can combat this though, any ideas?

Birgit, I’ve only ever considered food a fuel, and while I appreciate great meals, I don’t get particularly excited by the concept of ‘eating’ or ‘dining’. This attitude is considered a little strange in today’s food obsessed society, but it is the foundation for good nutrition. You might be onto something here- perhaps there is a diet book in you on this topic?

You’re darn right over consumption is easy! Food is found literally everywhere in the U.S. it’s like you can’t escape being offered some kind of convenience food everywhere you go. I think one key mind shift is to try to train yourself to look at food as “fuel”. It helps when you are active, like a runner or some kind of athlete. You begin to assess what foods do to help your performance. Education and promotion about foods with greater nutritional value has to eclipse all the advertisements for junk foods that get thrown at us. Fat chance, but…that’s what has to happen.

Agree completely. Conscious eating is complicated enough, without self-prescibing restrictions that are not medically confirmed. There are good forms of wheat, milk, and fats and it breaks my heart when people ban the whole works based on their reading of a single book.
