A natural life

I am sure Emile has blogged before on the dangers of relying on low fat versions of foods but I saw this article on freakonomics which I thought gave it a new spin. Basically if your body is prepared to receive a lot of calories and it doesn't happen it gets very confused.

I thought this chimed well with general advice to avoid overly manufactured food. I was once told to avoid anything you grandmother would not recognise as food and I think that is a good rule of thumb to follow.
