Eat food, not nutrients

There are only a handful of writers whose every word is worth hanging on. Michael Pollan is one of those greats. I enjoy his quick style, his well researched discoveries, and his subject matter. He writes about food. More importantly, he writes about the culture of food, relationships with food, and the connection to the ecology and soil. In his most recent New York Times article, Pollan criticizes "nutrionalism", not nutrition. He offers nine suggestions for healthy eating. I've been following them for years. I'm glad he's sharing these simple and important ideas with others. I'm glad you can get a glimpse of my philosophy of living through his fine words.
