I’ve been asked the question a hundred times…. If you could eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Pizza with mushrooms and onions…

But then again what are the food we should be eating?

Back in the summer the New York Times ran a story called, “the 11 best food you aren’t eating.”

The piece is back by popular demand…

The story is brilliant for its simplicity…

The writer lists the 11 best, and why….

Enough said…

The top five include

Beets
Cabbage
Swiss chard
Cinnamon
Pomegranate juice

Just off the phone with NPD in New York, the folks that track what we eat and why we eat it…

Their latest findings show the economy and rising food costs are changing the way we eat and losing weight just isn’t the concern it once was…

So what did they come up with…

* Americans are eating more at home…but that doesn’t mean they’re using restaurants less.
* Breakfast bars and yogurt hit a new high at breakfast, but stopping at restaurants for breakfast also hit a new high this year.
* Americans are losing interest in losing weight as dieting hits a new low this year.
* Snacking is not as impulsive as you might think. Most snacks are planned more than six hours earlier. There is a shift in when the most snacking occurs — more in the morning and less in the evening.
* Probiotics is the “new” health topic, as concerns about trans fat fades.
* Winter is becoming a new grilling season.
