Re: Food Quackery
by

My girlfriend has actually got "Dr" Gillian McKeith's 'You Are What You Eat". The recipes are pretty good, but they are dressed up in so much pseudoscientific quackery puts us off a bit.
Of course, maybe we're missing the point. Quackery aside, the food is genuinely pretty good for you. I can't agree with her views on eating meat - I grew up on a farm and have seen the entire process of raising animals for meat from conception to plate, pretty much all my life, and I try not to eat anything I ddn't know personally.
Perhaps we're missing the point. Perhaps there's something clever going on here that we haven't spotted.
*Maybe* dressing up healthy eating in such terms (actually I can't find the book, my girlfriend might have it, or I'd give examples) - maybe that's a way to get people to buy into eating healthily. I can see how it would appeal to a certain sector of society: "Look, this woman on the TV says it's good for you and I don't understand it and she's a doctor, so it must be good!"
Me personally, I favour a diet consisting of less processed crap. Real food, real bread, real ale, real wine. You are what you eat? Well, I'm full-fat, full-caffeine, full-strength, wholegrain with subtle hoppy notes and a clean fruity aftertaste. And that's how I like it.
