Three things wrong with Michael Pollan’s Defense of Food

Three year’s ago, I read this fantastic article by NYT’s Michael Pollan, in which he summed up his findings to lengthy research about what and how we should eat. Here’s what he said:

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

There are three things wrong with this approach:

  1. I’m fairly certain I must have a genetic deficiency of yellow dye 5. How else could you explain my unnatural and ending “need” for all things cheese food.
  2. “Much”, “mucho” and “more” are either my three favorite flavors or my three main food groups. I can never keep them straight. Probably 5th graders know.
  3. Pop-tarts don’t grow on trees.
