Most of us live in an environment where eating junk food is considered normal, and eating healthy food is considered weird. Where you can buy a candy bar at almost any store, but you sometimes have to travel for miles to get a fresh piece of spinach. It's not easy to be a food revolutionary. But it's never been more important. ~Ocean Robbins

Volumetric Eating
Remember caloric density when you are trying to lose weight. Vegetables have 100 calories per pound, fruit 300 calories per pound, whole grains 500 calories per pound, beans 600 calories per pound, animal meat, 1000 calories per pound, refined carbs (white flour stuff) 1400 calories per pound, junk food, 2300 calories per pound, nuts/seeds, 2800 calories per pound, oil 4000 calories per pound. Staying on the lower end of the caloric density scale is key to weight loss. ~Natala Constantine
