Food Expert's Food Rules

1) What did you find most surprising? Why?
What I found to be the most surprising was that the food expert claimed that people around the world who eat a more "traditional" diet are far more healthier than people who eat a "Western" diet. I find this surprising because, well I wouldn't think that cow's blood or seal blubber would be healthier than cereals that fight cholesterol (which, btw, the FDA warns is a falsification). Usually when I think of diets around the world I think of foods that seem so outrageous to me. But the Food Expert has some great points, in particular the rule about only eating things that rot and avoiding things with ingrediants that a third grader cannot pronounce. The majority of food in my fridge has chemicals in it or has been processed, and THATS outrageous.
2) What do you consume on a regular basis that is an "edible food-like substance"?
It is pretty embarassing that the majority of what I eat is what would be considered an "edible food-like substance". My great-grandmother would be appalled. I am a junk food junkie. A specific example would be the bag of chips I grab from the vending machine on any given day.
