26. Love food, not nutrients.

Here’s some great advice from Joan Gussow: People don’t love nutrients. Nobody says: “I love vitamin C.” But they do say: “I love a fresh orange.” People have feelings about food. They don’t have any feelings about nutrients.

She also said: “I prefer butter to margarine, because I trust cows more than chemists.” She’s one wise lady. 

The greater the focus on nutrients, the less healthful foods have become.
