Great Blogpost over on Huffington Post by Michael Pollan entitled Food Rules: A Completely Different Way To Fix The Health Care Crisis. This gives the gist, quite nicely.
After spending several years trying to answer the supposedly incredibly complicated question of how we should eat in order to be maximally healthy, I discovered the answer was shockingly simple: eat real food, not too much of it, and more plants than meat. Or, put another way, get off the modern western diet, with its abundance of processed food, refined grains and sugars, and its sore lack of vegetables, whole grains and fruit.
In other words, eat FOOD instead of food products, which are nothing more that cleverly disguised versions of the subsidy crops, which Food Inc. can buy cheaply and dress up flavor-wise with chemicals so that it tastes like food, even if it isn’t quite.
