Rules to Eat By

By Michael Pollan

The author posses a good question. Does Splenda with fiber even count as food? In this article he really gets you thinking. He brings up some very good points about our eating habbits, or what we consider good food. Like a fast food place replacing bread with slabs of meat, and calling that sandwich healthy. I found it interesting now that we depend on science to tell us what is healthy, we are eating more unhealthy. The autor brings up the point that we should go back to listening to our culture when it comes to choosing our food.

I enjoyed this article, and I have also enjoyed this author. He keeps things very straight forward, and he doesn't try to dance around with fancy words. He writes clearly, and keeps it interesting.
