Also what Liza says. Although I dunno if it's that simple... and I do seem to meet more and more tall Portuguese so who knows?

I read this in response to luka's post about what determines height... 😂

OK, well that sounds a bit better than "brown rice and vegetables". In fact it sounds pretty tasty. But I'd soon get tired of it night after night.

No way, think about a roast dinner, the most English meal imaginable - most of the dishes on the table contain vegetables, don't they?
The French - now they're really not big on veg.

I think what English food can lack is taste and colour and spice... too much brown and green and beige without strong flavour. Much of the above is veg.... overly boiled... cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, peas, broccoli, sprouts, parsnips etc etc when you think about it there are quite a variety of vegetables eaten regularly by most people in the UK.

Michael Pollan's seven rules for eating sound sensible, but I haven't started following them myself...
www.webmd.com
- Don't eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. "When you pick up that box of portable yogurt tubes, or eat something with 15 ingredients you can't pronounce, ask yourself, "What are those things doing there?" Pollan says.
- Don’t eat anything with more than five ingredients, or ingredients you can't pronounce.
- Stay out of the middle of the supermarket; shop on the perimeter of the store. Real food tends to be on the outer edge of the store near the loading docks, where it can be replaced with fresh foods when it goes bad.
- Don't eat anything that won't eventually rot. "There are exceptions -- honey -- but as a rule, things like Twinkies that never go bad aren't food," Pollan says.
- It is not just what you eat but how you eat. "Always leave the table a little hungry," Pollan says. "Many cultures have rules that you stop eating before you are full. In Japan, they say eat until you are four-fifths full. Islamic culture has a similar rule, and in German culture they say, 'Tie off the sack before it's full.'"
- Families traditionally ate together, around a table and not a TV, at regular meal times. It's a good tradition. Enjoy meals with the people you love. "Remember when eating between meals felt wrong?" Pollan asks.
- Don't buy food where you buy your gasoline. In the U.S., 20% of food is eaten in the car.

Who is Michael Pollan
1. That would be the end of Fat Duck and El Bulli type restaurants.
2. Does that mean if I make a cake or something I can't put six things in it?
4. Why does he call the interviewer honey out of nowhere?
5. Maybe but lots of cultures seem to have the absolute opposite idea... at least when it comes to guests.
7. I love it when there is good food to be had at services and stuff. Kinda good junk food. I think it's ok as long as it's in moderation type thing. These really sort of nasty fake meat hotdogs they do on some Russian motorways are really tasty but I agree if you ate them every day you'd probably be dead within a month.
