If you really want to eat better, the best way is to change the American tradition of the Midwest Buffet Meal.

There are several elements of the MBM that need to be examined for modification.

To start with, the Thanksgiving dinner is kind of the extreme of the MBM. Too much food, of too many kinds, eaten too quickly.

The human stomach and upper digestive tract actually digests different kinds of foods differently. Think of it as having modes of digestion. One way for fats, one for protein, one for complex carbohydrates and one for simple carbohydrates. So if you just have one or two kinds of food at once, the digestive tract can do a better job on it.

But much about cuisine is to intentionally blend these kinds of foods together. For example, the “complete” Midwest dinner includes meat, carbohydrates, and vegetables. Maybe a salad. And dessert, of course.

This finds its ideal in the self service buffet.

So how to change this? Good question. It takes some creativity.

It's simple. Force everybody to eat the items and proportions being crammed down our kids' throats by the Wookie in Chief.
