Terrific video of Michael Pollan, author of Omnivore's Dilemma & In Defense of Food, speaking at the Google campus. He is often quoted, "Eat food, not too much, and mostly vegetables."
Here's a list of how Pollan suggests we try to eat. I agree.

this is such common sense but most people eat for convenience. Much of the food we eat is nutritionally empty or dead. Great post.

Just watched the whole thing. Makes me want to work at Google as much as it makes me want to read the guy's books. I was a guest in their NYC office recently, and the (free) cafeteria was amazing, and loaded with delicious healthy stuff.
