Fruit

Let me save you the time of reading this post, and I'll get right to the point:

Eat More Fruit



That's right. Eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

When people talk about diet, there's a lot of this nutrient and that essential fatty acid and those calories, but not much about whether what they are recommending is part of a natural diet for humans. Every other animal has a diet that they do best on. Horses and things like horses eat grasses. Dogs and things like dogs eat flesh (raw flesh, bones, marrow, blood, gristle, fat, etc.). Young mammals drink milk. Birds eat seeds. And the wild animals that share most of their DNA with humans-- anthropoid-primates (gorillas, bonobos, chimps, orangutans, etc)-- eat a low fat diet of almost entirely fruits and vegetables.

Think about it: without any tools, without your stove and oven, what would you eat? What tastes good in it's natural state? Fruit. Fruit. And some tender, tasty greens. But mostly fruit--the food that practically digests itself. The food with more vitamins than any other. And vegetables are the food with the most minerals. So we'd eat fruits and vegetables. Unless you relish chasing down an antelope, killing it with your bare hands, and eating it's raw flesh. No? Well, then eat fruit. We're living in the Garden of Eden, just go to your grocery. Never before have we had access to so much whole, fresh, ripe food, and never before have we shunned it so.

It's okay. Eat a banana. Eat four luscious mangoes for lunch. Eat a salad of baby spinach covered with red, rich strawberries. Bite into a juicy apple, and then eat four more. Notice how good you feel. Check it out.

Even if you never go all the way. It's nice to know that you can make a healthy, balanced meal out of ten bananas. :)
