The storm of food and drink crisis throughout Taiwan is now becoming global. More and more brand-named beverages and foodstuffs are inspected and found to contain the industrial chemicals (DEHP or DINP) that can do harm to human beings.
I was very much impressed by a translated English old saying 「老奶奶叫不出來的食物成分，不要吃！」, which was quoted by a commentator Chuang, Suo-Hang (莊碩漢) in a Taiwanese channel TV (SET News, 三立新聞台) and I tried to look into the internet and googled it for the original words in English. Here I`ve got the following TWO useful results/articles for you:
(1). If your great-grandmother doesn't know what it is... you probably shouldn't eat it.
(我的翻譯該文章標題：如果妳的曾祖母都不知道的食物，你就別吃吧！)
In the same article, the author also quoted some intriguing rules for food or eating, as follows:
Rule #5- Avoid foods that have some form of sugar listed among the top three ingredients.
Rule #7- Avoid food products containing ingredients that a third-grader cannot pronounce.
(我的翻譯：要避免食物裡面含有連小學三年級學生都不會念的成分!)
Rule #15- Get out of the supermarket whenever you can.
Rule #37- “The whiter the bread, the sooner you’ll be dead.” -- Avoid white flour/pasta/bread and choose whole grain.
Rule #43- Have a glass of wine with dinner.
Rule #44 Pay more, eat less. (That is, quality over quantity!)
Rule #47 Eat when you’re hungry, not when you’re bored.
Rule #62 Plant a vegetable garden if you have the space, a window box if you don’t.
Rule #63 Cook. Working on it!
