Have you seen this new food rating system at Whole Foods? It stands for Aggregate Nutrient Density Index. They assign a rating to foods, from 1 to 1,000 (according to nutritional value).
This will be interesting...
Some people feel that anything they buy at Whole Foods is nutrient dense and ecologically responsible...
I saw a father get a bowl full of chocolate chips with a couple of pieces of grain on top for his kids... His version of "trail mix"? The kids loved it!
Rating food on how nutrient dense it is is a great Idea, people get all screwed up about food. A lot of people love to brag about what they do not eat anymore. If you eliminate a food that is Objectional to you for some reason, talk about the better food that you now eat instead. We are defined by what we DO eat, not by bragging about what you don't eat anymore.
With all the information around food theses days, the most important question I can ask myself is, Does this Food produce or prevent health? If yes, then eat it. If not, don't. This simple question has gotten lost in all of our political correctness.
