As I consider moving B and I to an almost entirely whole foods and made-from-scratch diet, eliminating the remaining things in our current diet like breakfast cereal and bottled salad dressings, I’ve been doing some reading on the subject. My quotes tonight for Quotable Sunday reflect that.

"Don’t eat anything your great-great grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food. There are a great many food-like items in the supermarket your ancestors wouldn’t recognize as food (Go-Gurt? Breakfast-cereal bars? Nondairy creamer?); stay away from these."
     — Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma

To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.
     — La Rochefoucauld

"Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food."
     — Hippocrates

Off to bed. Lots to do and think about tomorrow. I’ll be over to Toni’s blog in the morning to check out the other quotes posted.
