Nutritional Health
If you hear me say it once, you will probably hear me say it a hundred times: Americans are overfed and undernourished! This is one reason that "portion control" is not the answer to the obesity epidemic--we are virtually starving to death for proper food as it is! No, we need not deprive ourselves of food, per se, we need only begin to eat differently! The solution is expressed simply and elegantly in Dr. Joel Fuhrman's health equation: H = N/C , where H = Health, N = Nutrients, and C = Calories.

"I cook with olive oil", they proudly inform me, "it's the only oil I use!" Others, who are just learning about the benefits of a predominantly whole-foods, plant-based diet, are enthusiastic about recipes that require olive oil. As this presentation by Jeff Novick makes clear, olive oil is not health food!

Nutritarian? What on earth is a nutritarian?
Nutritarian is a word coined by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, author of Eat to Live, Eat for Health, and several other books relating to nutritional health issues. In Eat for Health, he writes:
Vegetables and other high-nutrient foods are the cornerstones of Eat for Health, but this is not a book about beoming a strict vegetarian. Instead, this eating-style is easily described with a word I coined: NUTRITARIAN A PERSON WHO HAS A PREFERENCE FOR FOODS AND/OR AN EATING-STYLE HIGH IN MICRONUTRIENTS [More]
