I Only Eat Foods My Great Grandmother Would Recognize – Here Are My Top Picks 1️⃣ Grass-Fed Beef & Pasture-Raised Meat – No factory farms, just real, nutrient-dense protein. Eat the skin, eat the fat—nature intended it.
2️⃣ Wild-Caught Fish – Free from artificial feed and toxins, packed with omega-3s.
3️⃣ Farm-Fresh Eggs – Deep yellow yolks from hens that roam, not from a factory.
4️⃣ Raw Dairy – If you can’t milk the cow yourself, go for raw milk, real cheese, and grass-fed butter (Kerrygold is a great store-bought option).
5️⃣ Sourdough Bread – Properly fermented, unlike modern ultra-processed bread.
6️⃣ Heirloom Fruits & Vegetables – Seasonal, non-GMO, and free from synthetic pesticides.
7️⃣ Animal Fats (Tallow, Lard, Butter) – Ditch seed oils; go for what your ancestors thrived on.
8️⃣ Honey & Maple Syrup – The only sweeteners she would recognize. No refined sugar or artificial junk.
9️⃣ Bone Broth – A gut-healing, mineral-rich staple made from slow-simmered bones.
🔟 Fermented Foods – Sauerkraut, kefir, and yogurt for digestion and immunity.
1️⃣1️⃣ Ancient Grains & Legumes – Einkorn wheat, spelt, lentils—grains that haven’t been tampered with.
1️⃣2️⃣ Spring Water – No chemicals, no fluoride, just real hydration. 💡 How to Eat Like Your Great-Grandmother: * Shop the Perimeter – Real food is perishable. No flashy labels, no long ingredient lists. * Ditch Seed Oils – Canola, vegetable, soybean oil? Nope. Stick to traditional fats. * Eat Locally & Seasonally – Fresh, in-season, and from a local farm whenever possible. * Avoid GMOs & Pesticides – If it kills bugs, what’s it doing to you? * Cook From Scratch – Single-ingredient meals, no shortcuts. * Eat Mindfully – Sit at a table, no phone, just real food and presence. Your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize energy drinks, protein bars, or processed snacks. Eat like she did—your body will thank you
