Eat+Food+Notes-PK

Michael Pollan - In Defence of Food (broadcast Friday, January 4th, 2008) 'Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly Plants'

- Pollan believes that foods are processed to make more money for the company. - For example, oats are very inexpensive. To make more money, the food becomes processed into sugary cereals, cereal bars and cereal sticks. - Processed foods are just substances, not adequate food.

- Real food needs to be defended. - They do not have enough money to make commercials. - They are overestimated nutritionally. Science focuses too much on the individually nutrient than the whole fruit. - Eat the carrot, ot the individual vitamins within the carrot.

- If a food boasts of added vitamins then they should not be eaten.
