from "Food Rules: An Eater's Manual," by Michael Pollan*****
PART II: What Kind of Food Should I Eat?
(Mostly plants.)
RULE #24 - "Eating what stands on one leg [mushrooms and plant foods] is better than eating what stands on two legs [fowl], which is better than eating what stands on four legs [cows, pigs, and other mammals]."
This Chinese proverb offers a good summary of traditional wisdom regarding the relative healthfulness of different kinds of food, though it inexplicably leaves out the very healthful and entirely legless fish.

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
