An amazing grass-fed steak I found at Trader Joe’s with the fat still intact!
Just a reminder to examine your ideas about food and your perceptions of health – where do these ideas come from? For instance, cereal with low-fat milk and orange juice for breakfast. Is this a healthy way to start the day? Is nonfat or low-fat milk better for you than whole milk? Why do you think that? What about sugar? Eggs?
Your health is in your hands. Question everything. Look into the farm bill. If your doctor prescribes you a medication, google it. Just see what comes up. You should do the same with herbal supplements. Be responsible for your health. Your doctor has a lot of training, but that doesn’t mean they’re infallible.
But don’t swing to the other extreme and become health-obsessed! The health-obsessed person is constantly trying new extreme diets, taking more than ten different supplements, and may even become withdrawn from friends and family because they feel like they can’t participate in annual rituals or eat what everyone else is eating. This hypothetical person may reflexively trust things they judge to be “alternative” or “anti-establishment” without thinking critically.
Do your research, examine what you’re putting into your body and how you’re interacting with the world, and trust your gut. My gut told me that grass-fed steak was delicious!
