Has Micheal Pollan changed how you eat?

Anthony :

With all do respect to the author, Mr. Pollan has not changed the way I eat. He has in some way changed the way I think about food before I read the book. But as a young male in modern society I have literally been forced what to eat. Being caught up in fast food and the cheapest item on the self at the grocery store has been embedded in to my way of living since as far back as i can remember.

What really stuck with me after reading this book though, was the fact that the average North American has more corn in their diet then people from South American country's whom are known to have very corn based traditional meals. This is simply because everything is either a product of corn or in the case of the animals we eat, are feed corn.

My own personal reason for not changing my diet after reading this book is very simple actually. It's the fact that if you want to live healthy to Mr. Pollan's standards, you would have to have a lot of money just for food. 

You see what this book doesn't mention is that when the manufactures use corn it brings down the price of the item in question. There for when it gets to your table it's not $6.99 a pound.    

All in all corn is great. It has kept our society going from one day to the next. As far as I'm concerned if everybody listened to Mr. Pollan's literature, a lot of jobs would be lost in the farming and agricultural industry overnight. The corn market might collapse, and as we all know our society is practically built on the stuff.

Well that's all I have to say. Thanks for reading our blog. Happy eating to you!
