simple and local foods
Have your cake and eat it too: The French Paradox explained
The French use the most fresh and highest quality ingredients available, often local and organic. They consume a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables, seasonings, drink plenty of water, and savor a glass or two of wine with a meal.
The French tend to delight in flavorful food that is void of anything artificial or overly processed. They do not look at food as utilitarian but something to savor and enjoy.
"Food is one of the best pleasures in life. We should not eat like we're robots or on autopilot. It's not like eating. It's like stuffing yourself."

exceptions to chronobiotic logic
Through Facebook i was able to ask Atom Bergstrom about the banana:
"I still don't get the banana. It's called a banana tree but's it's obviously a plant, therefore is afternoon food. What am i missing?"
"It's their relationship to light and their natural radioactivity that makes them a morning "brain" food. When left alone, a banana plant grows higher than 20 feet tall."

starch
TED: The food we were born to eat: John McDougall
80-10-10 vs starch diet
Aluminum Enhances Dextrinization
Potatoes, pineapple, and senega are aluminum accumulators.
Roots and stems – the “hard” parts of a plant – have a tendency to accumulate colloidal and other forms of aluminum.
Potatoes use aluminum to ward off plant pathogens.
Aluminum enhances dexrinization, and a dextrinized potato is healthier to eat than a boiled or steamed potato.
Dextrinization only occurs at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and higher, and converts starch into pyrodextrin.
Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) called PROTEIN COAGULATION “dextrinization.”
Protein coagulates between 200 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cutting open a baked potato and exposing it to dry heat between 200 and 212 degrees [93 to 100 celcius] for a minimum of 20 minutes creates the best of both worlds – dextrinization and protein coagulation.
Wet the potato starch – preferably with root vegetable juices – to make sure its protein coagulates.
