Julia Child's anti-aging strategy

The success of the new movie "Julia and Julia" has gotten me thinking about putting up my own certificate from the Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris, where Julia Child trained. It's true! Even though it was only one day, they still give you a certificate. It would look good on the wall with all of my other certificates (I wonder if anyone would notice).
Seriously though, the good news about the movie is that it has rekindled an interest in cooking, and a healthy way of living that Julia Child personified. The trend in recent years has been more toward fast food, processed almost beyond recognition and certainly beyond any real nutritional value. It's hard to believe that only recently margarine loaded with trans-fats was offerred as a healthier alternative to butter. We need to get back to what author Michael Pollan calls "real food"--things your grandmother would recognize. Anti-aging is of course more than Botox, skin creams, and a few nips and tucks (though they have their place); it's about whole foods in the diet. This includes fruits and/or vegetables with every meal, whole grains, that sort of thing. It just isn't that complicated. The hard part is finding foods not laced with high-fructose corn syrup and the like. Here's a simple rule: if it has artificial coloring added, then that means the good nutrients were removed and so it's probably not something to waste calories on.
