This page was sparked by a New York Times article that is highly recommended.
As you know, our food has been "hacked" for the economic benefit for decades, however we are realizing now it's been to the determent of our health. Some of the trendy motos to live by for healthy eating are, "Eat what you are made to eat" and "Only eat what your great great grandparents would recommend for you to eat". Another main focus, which also follows the same train of thought is to eat local. Find your local farms, and farmers markets. Use these wherever possible, but first ensure you're made aware of what the animals are fed (no animal by-products for example), and that the animals are not chemically or genetically modified in any way.
