She proposes eating lots of fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed foods and foods produced through industrial methods.

Real Food, Part 1: Planck promotes ‘real’ foods

Real Food: What to Eat and Why by Nina Planck proposes that the modern health issues result from industrial foods. That is, food that has been cultivated and processed using intensive chemical and physical processes unknown or unused before the 20th century. She says a return to eating grass-fed and pastured animals and their products-and away from Omega 6 intensive vegetable and corn oils as well as transfats-will restore the health of U.S. eaters. She fails to adequately address the role of inactive lifestyles, however.
