That begs the question of course: What are normal healthy eating habits?

Our eating habits have been formed by mass marketing for many decades so I would not call them normal. Even the fresh fruit and vegetables I see in the supermarkets (Coles and Woolworths in Australia) do not look normal.

Greens - spinach, kale, swiss chard, beet greens, parsley, watercress, mustard, turnip, cress, dandelion

Seeds - sunflower, pumpkin, *

Seafood - Salmon, sardines, mussels

Reds - Tomato, red peppers

Insects - Crickets

Everyone can debate the merits of livestock, cereals, roots, legumes, extracted seed oils, saturated fat, cholesterol, refined sugar, top feeding fish, alliums, brassicaceae. But the other things listed above are about as universally and unequivocally considered healthy with the understanding of food we have, with regard to commonly available foods in a western diet.

* almond, peanut, walnut, pistachio, pecan, cashew, macadamia too if fodmap issues arent a concern. Same with alliums, brassicaceae, legumes.
