Whole foods—quality protein from animal sources, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains—have made it possible for humankind to survive, to be healthy, and to procreate through the millennia. Unfortunately, today these nutrient-dense foods are regarded merely as raw materials to be converted into more profitable refined and highly processed products. The potato, for example, is converted into chips and fries, corn-on-the-cob into flakes, and the apple into juice. Similar fractioning of food has occurred throughout all the basic food groups. Food partitioning shortchanges our health by diminishing important nutritional offerings and destroying vital nutrient relationships.
Beatrice Trum Hunter has written more than 30 books on food issues, including whole foods, food adulteration, and aditives. Her most recent books include The Whole Foods Primer, Probiotic Foods for Good Health, and Infectious Connections.
