REPLAY! What's Real Food and Where To Find It

Dear Healthy Jew,

I’m a foraging guide in Israel’s natural world.

But I’m not always eating directly from God's delicious and nutritious produce. Most of what I eat comes from stores.

Nevertheless, we can learn from foraging what sorts of foods will keep us healthy: real foods that come from the real world, not food-like substances concocted in a laboratory.

As I explained last week, this relationship with eating is far healthier, balanced, and more sustainable than judging foods as bad and junk or ignoring their effect on our health altogether.

We Need to Talk Differently About Food

In yesterday’s online Healthy Jew Workshop, I showed what exactly are real foods, where you can find them, and how to eat them. I also made a case for almost-real foods, and showed their advantages over pure food-like substances.

Eitan and I foraging yesterday, checking out a chubeza (mallow) leaf in a sea of delicious real foods.
