Dr. Fuhrman describes his eating style as “a new way of living that can improve your quality of life for years to come.”
While this style of eating may be new to you, it is certainly not new to man. Dr. Fuhrman’s nutritive way of eating — eating to satiation the unprocessed foods that grow from the ground — was the rule until only 60 to 70 years ago. But as the world became more industrialized, the variety of available foods began to grow. Food manufactures produced and marketed more processed and packaged selections, allowing working moms and dads to spend less time in the kitchen. Time was of the essence, not the purity of food.
Dr. Fuhrman encourages you to adopt a lifestyle that requires that you take the time to shop, wash, cut, cook, and eat nutritious food. Shopping, preparing, and eating foods that grow from the ground is time consuming. Slow down a bit so that you don’t have to rely on fast food, which is, for the most part, less nutritious.
One of the few things that you have control over is the foods that you put into your mouth. Don’t try to push it off onto someone else; that responsibility is yours. Consider it an investment in your health and in the health of your family when you prepare food.
