TELL ME WHAT YOU EAT AND I'LL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE Or, in other words "we are what we eat". Based on these two truths, the nutrition experts formulate a precious recommendation: eat what you want, but with judgement, without exaggerating on quantities and giving precedence to the quality and variety of the foods. This is the golden rule of healthy eating: a perfect synthesis of healthy foods, nutritional value, modest preparations and the pleasures of the table. In the last twenty years the eating habits of the Italians have changed profoundly: overall, we can see that we eat rather less and rather better.
Lifestyles have also changed, both in the family and in society in general. Lunch breaks are short pauses, and what we eat is no longer the result of a long and elaborate preparation. Foods have to be ready to enjoy. Our tradition is already rich in what is called "fast food", featuring a variety and flair that is without rivals. Take cured meats for example. The pride and glory of "popular" tradition, they have now been revalued by nutritional science, on condition that they are prepared according the correct criteria for enhancing the flavour and that they are consumed in appropriate quantities as part of a properly balanced diet.
