Fall 2011 University of North Texas HMGT 1450.001 Principles of Nutrition Food Rule Written Statement File Number: F115620052 Food Rule: Eat foods that are harvested by a tractor, not ones made where hair nets are a factor. Statement: My food rule, eat foods that are harvested by a tractor, not ones made where a hair net is a factor, encourages people to eat less of processed foods that have added sugars and fats and eat more fruits and vegetables. It also encourages them to eat more raw foods that are more close to their original state. DGA 2010 Chapters 3 encourage raw foods over processed foods. It states that you should eat less processed foods and more fruits and vegetables. Chapter 4 of DGA 2010 states that you should replace foods that are high in solid fats with foods that provide more potassium, and Vitamin D such as fruits and vegetables. It also says that you should eat Nutrient - dense foods that are without added sugars, solid fats, and starches, and sodium. My rule is supported by Pollan's food rule #1, #16, #17, and #18 which discourages the purchasing and consumption of processed foods and encourage the consumption of raw foods. Rule #16 also encourages you to purchase most of your foods and snacks at the supermarket, where there is nothing but raw unprocessed fruits and vegetables. My rule helps UNT students see the health benefits of purchasing less processed foods. It also helps them make healthier choices when shopping for food and helps them make healthier places to buy their food. I grade my food rule as STRONG because there is ample evidence supporting my rule by both the DGA 2010 and Michael Pollan.
