We no longer expect food to taste like real food. The processed food companies have schooled us to expect our food to taste like sugar, highly processed flour, salt and bad fat.

Premeditated Eating Just as I love classic cars, I love classic TV. One of my favorites is Perry Mason. His job was, more often than not, to prove premeditated murder committed by one of the suspects. The planning and execution of the crime reminds me of how I eat and how I counsel my clients to plan their eating regimen…but in a good way… I call it “premeditated eating” and it truly is just that. I always make it my … Continue reading
