9 point summaries

1. He wants us to eat food. Not the food like cereal bars, but real food. He wants us to eat things that are not processed and changed. Just real food.

2. Avoid even products that claim to be healthy. Most of these are lying anyway.

3. Avoid foods that have multiple unfamiliar ingredients. Most of all corn syrup, because they can be unhealthy for you.

4. Shop at the farmers market where everything is fresh. Stay away from supermarkets.

5. Pay more money for foods that are healthy, and eat less of them. Make them improve quality instead of quantity.

6. Eat plants. They are all good for you especially leaves, scientist may not agree why, but they all agree they are good for you.

7. Most traditional foods are good for you. Follow the way that non-supermarket cultures eat.

8. Cook your foods, don’t buy them pre cooked from the supermarket. Also having a garden will help as well.

9. Eat more species not just new foods. The more diversity you have the better.

Mr. Brady...
To Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly plants, means that first of all eating food is good for you. You don’t need to overeat, just eat healthy foods that are not processed, and sold to the masses in supermarkets. Add diversity to your diet; eat different species not just different foods. Eat mostly plants; because they are the best for you, not anything processed claiming to do what the plants do.
