Michael Pollan-"In Defense of Food" Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. Replacing real food with obsession with nutrients Not enough profit in selling real food because of cheap commodities. Process the food as much as possible to make it more expensive. Bodies do not benefit from processed food. Produce section has all of the real food. Raw carrots are things are good Focus on nutrients which is hot science works. Beta Carotene But food is more than the sum of the nutrients. We should eat a carrot and not beta carotene. Remove the things that do not benefit the body. Food is much more than the sum of its nutrients.

Summary: Instead of isolating your income to a very low amount for food that is unhealthy, go the extra mile and spend more to better your body. Also take in a more rounded diet such as a balanace of meat, dairy, vegetables, and sweets.

Mr. Brady: The 7-word phrase means that when you eat take in more vegetables over the other food products in order to keep your consumption of such low. It everything in moderation but try to keep a more veggy oriented diet in order to not only make consumption of other things less but to keep your system cleansed.
