I just wanted to throw in here that eating should not be something that you obsess about 24/7.
Read labels, know the ingredients of what you eat, for the most part try and limit the stuff you know is bad for you and temper this with the sensibility to enjoy your food and your life.
If you are invited to a cookout or want to have one yourself, don't sit down and start adding up calories, hunting down fat free smoked cheddar cheese and generally obsessing over it. You can always take a whole grain bun for a burger with you, or provide them at your own cookout, but don't refuse to eat a cheeseburger because it's "bad" for you.
Learn what you can about nutrition and how it makes your body work, but don't forget the pleasure of family or friends coming together for a good meal. Sometimes, that good meal is a ribeye or t-bone steak, baked potato, salad and fresh fruit tart for dessert.
Try to eat foods in their natural form. Try not to eat chemicals or chemically processed foods. But don't loose sight how food fits into your everday life. You need it, can't live without it and you have the right to enjoy it. It's not all buckgrass and mimifruit all day, every day.
There is nothing you can do that will make you live forever. Remember to enjoy.
