Guidelines for Dining Out?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I eat out at restaurants and non-NT homes often and I would love to get a better

sense of what to avoid and/or choose off a menu to minimize the damage. I

assume that when I eat out the produce and animal foods are not organic. I

don't have any major health problems or allergies but here's what I've come up

with so far:

-Avoid things made with refined grains--choose the whole wheat bread from the

basket, ask if they have brown rice, etc.

-Try to avoid dessert, or if you must, choose the least-sugar laden thing on the

menu (fresh fruit).

Beyond that, I don't know which meats are the most contaminated or if it would

be smarter to stick to veg. options (more pesticides there too....)

Any and all ideas welcome!
