Default An interesting article on nutrition and healthy eating

Unhappy Meals

This article is a hefty 12 pages, but its full of interesting facts and good analysis of nutrition, especially the shortcomings of the way foods are reduced to smaller parts (like vitamins and proteins) rather than studied as a whole. The author of the article is Michael Pollan, the author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, which I have not yet read.

In the confusing and often contradictory world of nutrition, he really simplifies things. Do you think his insights are correct?

(if you are short on time, the last page has some rough guidelines on how to eat that roughly summarize his views)

4. Get out of the supermarket whenever possible. You won’t find any high-fructose corn syrup at the farmer’s market; you also won’t find food harvested long ago and far away. What you will find are fresh whole foods picked at the peak of nutritional quality. Precisely the kind of food your great-great-grandmother would have recognized as food.

I like this, good health begins at farmer market.
