basically what we do:
Eat a variety of foods , especially whole grains , fruits and vegetables.
Reduce candy, soda and other empty calories.
Look how much we eat .
Make physical activity every day.
As a nation , we are increasingly eating more processed foods . Our supermarkets are full of packaged food practices that appeal to our taste buds , but jeopardize our diet. In addition, we eat less variety of foods. Ironically, while 17,000 new products are introduced each year, two thirds of our calories come from only four foods : corn, soybeans, wheat, and rice.

Our food is not the same as 20 years ago . Nutrients in the soil have been exhausted, if the food grown in that soil has fewer nutrients . Chemicals are increasingly used in breeding plants and animals , especially on huge industrial farms that specialize in a few products.
