Real Food

I'm reading Nina Planck's book Real Food and it's very compelling. She was raised by back-to-the-land 70's parents who had bought a farm in rural Virginia. She made granola and bread and ate fresh eggs and domestic beef and her home-grown vegetables. When she moved out on her own she rebelled and became vegetarian and then vegan, but she suffered from depression and weight gain. She returned to the eating habits of the family farm and returned to robust health and slender fitness. Her book explains why this is a good way to eat.
