![]() I also liked the French philosophy on wine. (excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom).Īnd I was glad to see that like me, she's a big yogurt fan. ![]() Even if you think you're drinking enough water, you're probably not. I completely agreed with her about the chapter on water. (Forget about buying fish, unless you want fresh-frozen Tilapia from China- ew) Okay, once in a while I can get Alaskan salmon. I would challenge her to come here and go grocery shopping with me. Believe me, I wish we could get rid of the Wal-mart Supercenter and I could walk to the outdoor market every other day to get my super-fresh ingredients to make my dinner. So a lot of her suggestions are unfortunately not practical. She compared the experience of grocery shopping in France to shopping in New York City, which is still not the same as grocery shopping in the Midwest. I did love her description of the French market and I envied it. America used to live this way before we tripled our portion size, got too busy to cook, invented the TV dinner, and built communities based on the idea of driving everywhere rather than walking. The French haven't cornered the market on most of the things she discusses in this book. Phil, enjoy your food, in moderation, get moving, don't "diet", but change your lifestyle and the way you think about food and eating, make it an experience, don't scarf down your dinner at the kitchen sink and never eat in front of the tv. This eating philosophy is quite similar to that of Bob Greene and Dr. ![]()
