Just Food

[wosnes]

Yesterday I was browsing through a recent issue of People magazine and found a short interview with James McWilliams who wrote a book called Just Food.

SO HOW SHOULD WE BE EATING? Eat out less, cook more. Eat much less meat, eat a lot more fruits and vegetables. And eat the right kind of fish. Then you're being responsible without being fanatical.

LOSE ANY LOCAVORE FRIENDS? Writing about food is like writing about religion. It has inevitably created tension -- but there's nothing wrong with a healthy tension!

It looks interesting but neither my local bookstores nor my library has it.

There's also a short interview with Frank Bruni "who shares his journey from chubby kid to bulimic young man to , finally a healthy weight -- only to be asked in 2004 to be the restaurant critic for The New York Times. Despite eating out nightly -- sometimes twice in an evening! -- he managed to stay slim.

HE EATS LIKE AN ITALIAN: Italians love food, but it's not all you can eat. It's one lamb chop and some potatoes. They don't supersize."

That sounds like an interesting book! The advice definitely makes sense.
