What Is Good to Eat? I Trust Traditional Cooking

By Stanley A. Fishman, author of Tender Grassfed Meat and Tender Grassfed Barbecue

One of the oldest traditional Chinese food combinations: ginger, garlic, and green onion.

If you read enough of the conclusions of studies reported in the news, you might decide that every single food you can eat is unhealthy in some way. It does not matter if the food is meat, poultry, seafood, fish, nuts, vegetables, or fruits, somewhere there is a study claiming it is unhealthy.

Obviously, if all the foods humanity has eaten, or can eat are unhealthy, we would not have survived as a species.

But how do we know what is good to eat? I found my answer through the research of Dr. Weston A. Price, who found that traditional peoples who ate their traditional diets were free from modern diseases, birth defects, and mental illness, even though many of the foods they ate were condemned by modern beliefs about food.

I base my diet on traditional food combinations, and the results have been fantastic.

It is better to look at all the foods eaten together, rather than just one food in isolation.

As a lawyer who specialized in legal research and analysis, I know a thing or two about researching an issue. What has always bothered me about most current food research is that they almost always seem to focus on a single food ingredient, or class of ingredients, and ignore the rest. An example would be studies that claim that red meat is unhealthy, yet ignore the other foods eaten, and many other factors.

But we do not eat foods in isolation. Usually, we eat many different kinds of food in a single day, and the substances in these foods interact with each other and our bodies. People do not normally eat just one food, or one class of food. To really know how food affects our health, I believe it is necessary to consider everything that is eaten, as it is the combination that effects our bodies.

Some studies have shown that the substances in one food will counteract the negative effects of the substances in another food, if the foods are eaten together. For example, studies have shown that the harmful glycemic effects of potatoes are greatly reduced or avoided if fat is eaten at the same time.

There is little current research on this, but Dr. Price looked at everything eaten by the peoples he studied, and the effect it had.

So I use as my guide the food traditions of many healthy peoples, making sure to use many of the same ingredients together that they did. For example:

  • Nearly all cultures that ate potatoes never ate them without plenty of animal fat.
  • The Chinese combined ginger, green onions, and garlic together in a huge number of dishes.
  • Our ancestors never ate red meat without fat, usually animal fat, and usually plenty of it.

There are countless other examples, preserved in the traditional cooking and food traditions of nearly every nation, and I believe I have received great benefit by combining food according to these traditions.
