Читать книгу Zero Waste Cooking For Dummies - Rosanne Rust - Страница 21

With the wide range of information (and misinformation) out there about diet and nutrition, we’ve lost sight of simple, balanced eating. Including a variety of foods in your diet, especially fruits, vegetables, beans, and grains, defines balanced eating.

As the surrounding sections point out, there are many benefits of zero waste cooking. You’ve got to find that sweet spot, where you’re balancing your plate, wasting less food (and perhaps getting more creative), and, of course, enjoying what you eat, too!

If reducing the environmental impact of food waste and your diet and behaviors is your primary goal, that’s great. However, I don’t recommend abandoning health guidelines. Including a vegetarian dish once or twice a week isn’t about shaming meat; it’s about adding more variety and nutrition to your diet.
