Michael Pollan - In Defense of Food 9broadcast Friday, January 4th 2008
-More and more of our meals are made of food like substances and not actual food -replacing real food with its substation of substances -people make more money by processing it as much as possible -We do not need all the processing just to eat food. The point of the processing is simply so the processors can make money. -We should save money and be more healthy by eating health foods, which are the least processed foods. -defend food from the science of nutrition and from food processing -science focuses on the nutrients, and not the actual food. The foods have more than just the nutrients in them. -the focus on nutrients serves a lot of people, but does not benefit the people eating the food -we should not focus just on the nutrients, but the food as a whole at its natural self
