Description
Food. There's plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it? Because most of what we're consuming today is not food, and how we're consuming it - in the car, in front of the TV, and increasingly alone - is not really eating. Instead of food, we're consuming "edible foodlike substances" - no longer the products of nature but of food science. Many of them come packaged with health claims that should be our first clue thay are anything but healthy. In the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion. The result is what Pollan calls the American paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we seem to become.
