I recently received an email with the subject line: “A well-balanced diet consists of a taco in each hand … on the beach (can’t forget that vitamin D).” The line was memorable and highlighted the fact that modern consumers have some novel ideas about what constitutes a healthy diet.
When I was in college, a well-balanced diet included foods from the four basic food groups: bread (taco shell), meat (ground beef or fish), veggies and fruits (lettuce and mango salsa) and dairy (shredded Mexican cheese). So maybe a taco in each hand does qualify as a well-balanced diet!
