With all of the variety of nutrition books I have read and have been reading lately (i.e. The Paleo Diet, The China Study, Devil in the Milk, Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food, Diabetes Solution, etc...), I've gained a much broader knowledge of nutritional concepts and controversies out there.
The one bit of nutrition advice it seems like most everyone can agree on, though, is that it is best to make a majority of your diet organic, local fruits and vegetables.
From my limited experience and understanding, if a person can do this then they are 90% of the way to a healthy diet.
After this we all need to make a decision about consuming animal products (meat, dairy, eggs), grains, and legumes. My story so far points to the Paleo Diet working very well for me. But I'm in the process of re-examining my intake of animal products. I have a deep respect for those who go vegetarian or vegan for the sake of peace, the environment, and/or social justice.
