Second, you should be eating real food. What is real food? Well, Michael Pollan explains exactly that in his new book "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto". In the book, he characterizes how we should eat by saying: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly Plants." Then, he proposes "an alternative way of eating that is informed by the traditions and ecology of real, well-grown, unprocessed food." Read more about Michael Pollan's book at his website.
