Yes, Virginia, you can butter your carrots. A
farmer's daughter tells the truth about cream, eggs, fish,
chicken, chocolate--even lard.
Everyone loves
real food, but they're afraid butter and eggs will give them
a heart attack--thus the culinary abomination known as the
egg-white omelet. Tossing out the yolk, it turns out, isn't
smart. Real Food reveals why traditional foods are
actually healthy: not only egg yolks, but also cream,
butter, grass-fed beef, wild salmon, roast chicken skin, and
more.
Nina Planck grew up on a vegetable farm in
Virginia and learned to eat right from her no-nonsense
parents: lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, along with
beef, bacon, fish, dairy, and eggs. Later, she wondered: was
the farmhouse diet deadly, as the cardiologists say? Happily
for people who love food, the answer is no.
In
lively, personal chapters on produce, dairy, meat, fish,
chocolate, and other real foods, Nina explains how ancient
foods like beef and butter have been falsely accused, while
industrial foods like corn syrup and soybean oil have
created a triple epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and heart
disease. Real Food upends the conventional wisdom on
diet and health and explains our taste for good things.
