Very interesting (and long) piece in the New York Times on food and the advent of "nutritionism."
Unfortunately, the bulk of my diet is comprised of highly processed items that, in Michael Pollan's estimation, hardly qualify as food.
"There are a great many foodlike items in the supermarket your ancestors wouldn’t recognize as food (Go-Gurt? Breakfast-cereal bars? Nondairy creamer?); stay away from these."
Oh well, there's always Lean Cuisine, right?
"Avoid even those food products that come bearing health claims. They’re apt to be heavily processed, and the claims are often dubious at best... When Kellogg’s can boast about its Healthy Heart Strawberry Vanilla cereal bars, health claims have become hopelessly compromised."
Oh no!
