Another suggestion I've heard from him is "don't eat anything advertising with health claims," which for the most part seems pretty solid. I certainly agree with him politically about the damage that Nixon's encouragement of industrial farming did (and is doing) to our diets, environment, and priorities.

There was one or two reports on NPR about eating this week. One was interviews with a bunch of people on their personal rules for eating: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124277131 I'm not sure if that includes another guy who wrote a book about rules for eating, but I can't find it. His general rule for himself for eating though was "Eat. Not too much. Mostly vegetables." Seemed like a reasonable approach.

Numbers on the scale rarely give useful information by themselves. “Being fat alone does not kill; and it’s apparently possible to be physically fit and fat. ”
