Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants. (Don't eat what you see on TV)

That's Michael Pollan. I thought Michael Pollan will become obsolete with high fructose corn syrup and paradoxically, he will flourish with high fructose corn syrup. Boy, I was so wrong. The corporates are much smarter than that. They simply replaced high fructose corn syrup with another sugar laden ingredient and it was as simple as that. Michael and we are in this for a very long haul. Jonathan Safran Foer's is not a big fan of Pollan but we need people like Pollan who don't go to the extreme of that so called liberal spectrum. Polarization makes it hard for people to understand the ground reality and eventually makes this worse.

"
A growing and increasingly influential movement of philosophers, ethicists, law professors and activists are convinced that the great moral struggle of our time will be for the rights of animals." - Michael Pollan
