WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO EAT LIKE A HUMAN? It means eating how we evolved, over tens of thousands of years, to eat. Oreo’s and Bubble Tea were not part of our Ancestor’s diet. We evolved, and with it our brain developed, off of wild foods. This means eating a massive array of vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, nuts, seeds, herbs, and drinking only water, tea’s and maybe coffee. There is no such thing as kids foods or grown-up foods. Beyond the stage of nursing babies on mothers’ milk and first foods for babies, we all need to basically eat the same. Every human requires the same essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
Fish crackers (and all other crackers), cookies, donuts, granola bars, yogurt tubes, cheerios, Frosted Flakes (and most cereals) – are all junk food, not fit for children, and especially not for adults. They are not healthy snacks, and besides being convenient and containing calories, provide almost no nutrients to the growing child.
FOR KIDS – Just Eat Real Food.
Eat as many fruits and vegetables as you want. Try to eat some quality protein every day (meat or seafood). Limit your treats like cookies, crackers, chocolate, ice cream to just a couple of times a week, like after a Saturday EMA class.
