Normal food is crazy enough

Jurriann Kamp, editor of Ode Magazine states in his June/July editorial:

It’s better not to manipulate food. It’s healthier to eat it as it is, without additions or subtractions, without artificial ingredients, colors or other craziness. Tomatoes are healthier than ketchup; sugar—in moderation—is better than the substitute aspartame, which has been linked to cancer. Flour, too, is better the less it’s refined; it’s more nutritious with vitamins and minerals intact. Even fat isn’t as bad as we’ve been told, which our cover story makes clear. We need fat, the good old-fashioned stuff we’ve been eating for centuries, not the manipulated variety. Ordinary fat (again, in moderation) is healthy.

The simple message is: Stick as closely as possible to the original food. That means no chemicals, such as fertilizers or pesticides. It doesn’t mean there’s no place for convenience. You can make a pizza without odd ingredients; check out your natural foods store. The trick is to eat “normally”- which is crazy enough.

I definitely agree, don't you?
