We have a genetic requirement to eat well.  The further we move away from this genetic requirement, the closer we move toward disease.  The quality of our health and the quality of our foods are directly proportional.  Tomas Edison said “Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food”.  

We had friends over for dinner a short while ago.  It came up in conversation that apparently, we should be eating a MINIMUM of 35-40 different plants per week.
