Presentation: The New Traditional American Diet
The American public is bombarded with nutritional facts, fallacies and diet fads from every angle. Drawing from solid scientific research, I encourage exploring traditional diets of the world, and combining their best aspects in what I call a New “Traditional” American Diet.
In addition to covering all the food categories I recommend, I give some history on the American diet (i.e. how our diet evolved from farms to processed foods) and very specific information on which foods are the healthiest to buy to improve our health going forward, and why.

NOFA-New Jersey 22nd Annual Winter Conference – Cultivating Change: Growing the Organic Food System – January 28-29, 2012 at Princeton University

Presentation: A New ‘Traditional’ American Diet
As the Western Diet, typified by highly processed, unnatural and fast foods, increasingly spreads from the United States throughout the world, it is frequently accompanied by a host of health woes by those who partake of its excess. American marketing and media are part of the problem. How can you make informed choices about what to eat for better health? With the current societal trend toward healthy eating and the increasing availability of fresh and unprocessed foods in our marketplaces, this, America, is a change that is possible.
