The Honest Palate


An ethical and honest approach to food policy, fitness and nutrition.

Today I was craving color. Green spinach is for iron and folic acid Red tomatoes are for Vitamins A and C Purple beets are for Phytochemicals Yellow peppers are for Vitamin C and fiber White mozzarella is for … obsessive cheese problem.. and calcium and protein Along with some edamame hummus for added protein and flax seed chips for omega-3 fatty acids and carbs. Abundance of color = abundance of nutrients.  (Fruit Loops don’t count!)

  • Green spinach is for iron and folic acid
  • Red tomatoes are for Vitamins A and C
  • Purple beets are for Phytochemicals
  • Yellow peppers are for Vitamin C and fiber
  • White mozzarella is for … obsessive cheese problem.. and calcium and protein

Along with some edamame hummus for added protein and flax seed chips for omega-3 fatty acids and carbs.

Welcome to my blog! I’m Michelle, a 26 year old vegetarian, runner, future doctor, and healthy-living enthusiast. My life revolves around food. Cooking food, eating food, discussing the politics of food. We’re surrounded by so many false advertisements and misconceptions about nutrition, its difficult to know where the truth lies. This is my attempt to make everything a bit clearer.

Follow me while I eat delicious food, cook healthy meals, run marathons, and strive to separate the food truths from lies, while living an exciting life in the Big Apple.
