We tend to follow the guidance of those whose morals, values, opinions, and lifestyles we respect. As we become more informed on a subject, we become more confident. When we become more confident, we tend to follow our own guidance. We have to trust that we are being well guided, and that is a personal choice usually based on results. We will probably ask ourselves “how is this expert’s guidance working for me?”, and we will follow the guidance based on the answer to that question.While experts may not agree on everything, there tends to be agreement on the basics.

Change in attitude about nutrition over the past several years?

There has been a change in the attitude about nutrition in some. Even when we are not looking for information, we often come face to face with it on the internet, or in the media generally. Topics range from weight loss, to contaminated foods, to new discoveries, to health concerns like diabetes or heart disease. Some of us gravitate toward organic foods because we do not want to eat chemically influenced foods. In the past, we may have reached for foods without thinking twice about their nutritive value, whereas now we may just not reach for them or indulge only occasionally after reading the labels. We tend to form the same eating habits as those with whom we grow up and with whom we live. The more aware we are, as parents or role models, the more aware our children and those around us are. We are passing on an awareness that, in turn, is promoting a change in attitude.
