Think of these as general guidelines when evaluating
food:
Grown organically and fresh from your own
garden. BEST! Happy, Happy, Happy.
Organically grown, farmer’s market or store-
purchased. GREAT! Happily dancing.
Grown non-organically in your garden. Still
GREAT!
Farmer’s market or store-fresh veggies & fruits,
with selected whole-grain breads and cereals,
beans and nuts. VERY GOOD.
5.
Canned and frozen fruits, veggies, and beans
without added fat or sugar. GOOD. Much better
than the average American diet.

9.
Carefully selected restaurant foods. GOOD.
Sort of.
Canned and frozen fruits, veggies, and beans with
fat or sugar added. BAD
Junk restaurant food. VERY BAD
Junk snack food & drink. EXTREMELY BAD. You
may fall over dead before you eat that last bite.
Just looking at the wrapper has been known to
cause blindness. (You know we’re kidding, right?
Still, snack foods are very unhappy.)
