have shifted from whole to refined, from complex to simple carbohydrates, and from food culture to food science.
The fact that most supermarket and restaurant food comes from factories makes it harder for us than our grandparents to eat healthy food.

Eating whole foods that remain close to the way they were originally created is simple. You don’t have to know complex chemistry or factory processes. Just avoid the ever increasing number of food products that have long lists of unpronounceable ingredients. Stick with the simple, healthy foods that your grandparents would recognize.
