Principle #4: Challenge the Food PoliceDon't let the media tell you that you are "bad" or "good" for choosing to eat certain foods. You are the only one that knows your body enough to determine what is right for you.
Plus, to be honest with you a majority of the time they are wrong. Pushing "low-fat" or "non-fat" options down our throats, soy as a healthy protein source, or diets that sell pre-packaged dinners that are heated up in microwaves, are all not OK. These so called food police, aren't always looking after what's best for you, their research is biased, and their theories are flawed. Instead eat foods that are right for you, listen to your body instead of the media.
Challenge all information you hear, and take each new diet with a grain of salt. If the food police and media know best, then why do we see a greater increase in cardiovascular issues, obesity, and other health issues. Instead of blindly following with the rest of the crowd, take nutrition into your own hands, eat foods that work for your own biochemistry, and learn the science behind the different diets out there. Educate yourself and you will learn that you don't need anyone to tell you what to eat, the answer is out there, you first just have to sort through all the "muck" that the media has thrown out there.
Pura Vida!
