Mr Brady... Pollan is not advertising any cheap fad diet or anything of that nature. Pollan is simply incouraging people to eat real healthy food. Just go the extra mile for better food. Pay a tad extra for whole foods. Its well worth it. Oh yeah and stay away from foods that advertise health benifits, they are highly modified.
