Reduce the frequency of eating fast food and eat more frequently home-cooked food, with plenty of fresh foods and vegetables. We all want safe, healthy food, but we cannot rely on the global food system to provide it.

If you're a big fan of fried food, then reach back to your grandmother's days and break out the cast iron frying pan. Cast iron pans heat evenly, add no toxic chemicals into the air and provide an extra source of iron in your food.
If you opt to use non-stick cookware, do not heat the pan hotter than 500 degrees.
