The best we can do, to paraphrase Pollan, is to eat whole foods, mostly plants, and not too much.
Instead of going out, I'm trying to encourage people to have a memorable experience in their own home. We call it 'Delicioso Night In.' I invite the people I care about the most. Then, when I get a lot of people together, I like to have finger foods.
