Hellenic Baked Halibut
Today’s recipe epitomizes the “Mediterranean diet,” which ranks among the world’s healthiest approaches to eating, according to the results of voluminous research.
Most traditional diets are healthful, especially those of rural China and Japan, where red meats are eaten fairly infrequently.
In fact, the term “Mediterranean diet” always was a misnomer, as it actually described the diets of people who dwell on Hellenic (Greek) islands such as Crete.
The name never really described the diets of most Italians, Greeks, or Spaniards, and is gradually giving way to processed foods, except in the most undeveloped parts of Greece’s Aegean islands.
