E.A.T.: What Foods Are Extraordinary, Average, or Trouble?

This is part 3 of 3 of a three part series on improving your diet once and for all, God's way!

Jordan Rubin, is a man on a mission to transform America's health one life at a time. In this three part series, Jordan Ruban has ranked foods Extraordinary, Average, or Trouble (E.A.T.) in descending order, based on their health-giving qualities. The best foods to serve and eat are what he calls “Extraordinary,” which God created for us to eat and will give you the best chance to live a long and happy life. It’s best to consume foods from the Extraordinary category more than 75 percent of the time. Part two of this series comprises foods that Jordan calls “Average,” which should make up less than 25 percent of your daily diet and be consumed sparingly. The final part of this series (this post) contains foods Jordan has relegated to the “Trouble” category, which should be consumed with extreme caution. You would be wise to avoid these foods completely!
