Amusing Rules for a Better Diet

Eating a perfectly balanced and exceptionally healthy diet can be hard, but some friends and I came up with this list of simple but amusing rules that, if followed, will dramatically improve your diet.

  1. Don't eat anything you've seen advertised on TV
  2. Forge the outside isles of supermarkets, don't venture into the middle of the store.
  3. If it has an ingredients list, put it back
  4. If it has a cartoon or a prize it is not food, it's entertainment. Put it back.
  5. Avoid eating anything that leaves an orange stain on your fingers, it's not food.
  6. Eat lotsa different colorful plants.
  7. When choosing food colors, minimize the amount of brown food (exceptions to this include nuts and extra dark organic chocolate).
