5 food rules from Slate

This article caught my eye this morning, in particular one of the "5 Rules":

Eat beans! They are one of the least expensive, most nutritious foods out there. Per capita Americans eat about 7.5 pounds of beans each year, compared with more than 200 pounds of meat.

Ugh - eating beans was not all bad, but the quantity I consumed for those weeks was challenging.  The other rules are interesting as well.
