Good For You Foods
By now you may have caught on that I love lists. They're everywhere -- I know I'm not alone in this -- so here's my favorite one for today: The Best 11 Foods You Aren't Eating.
It seems like every day there's a new list of the superfoods we should all consume daily (I'm a big fan of berries and broccoli and spinach, oh yum!), or news that oh wait, awesome-food-X is actually bad news, or, my favorite, news that a vice is now a virtue! But the cool thing about this particular list, which Tara Parker-Pope of the New York Times had Jonny Bowden compile, is that folks often overlook these items when they're thinking of healthy foods. In my oh-so-scientific poll (one person polled: myself) of whether this list is revelatory or just another superfood re-write, I found that actually, I don't consume those 11 foods very often, and of the 11, I'd be perfectly happy to incorporate 9 of them (sorry, sardines and beets. Yuck and double-yuck, according to the poll). So take it from me, list-lover, healthy-food-lover, and poll-taker extraordinaire, if you like such things, this list is worth a peek.
