On To Something......

I recently began listening to the CD of Michael Pollan's new book In Defense of Food, which is the follow up novel to Omnivore's Dilemma.
Obviously, a person like me, writing my own blog on a similar topic, thinks he is truly brilliant. As a matter of fact, I almost feel like I could simply stop this blog now and just say go and spend your time reading his book. But be prepared to look differently at what you are putting in your body... even foods labeled "healthy" come under attack.

Even still, I am comforted by the fact that there is now available a well written, comprehensive and research based book that delves into the history of food science and where we are headed. This book uses somewhat lighthearted and sarcastic tones at times as it ridicules how science and man try to dissect fresh, whole foods and rework them into products that are even better for us! As if we humans can do something more spectacular than Mother Nature herself.
If I didn't believe in writer's karma, I might just be tempted to plagiarize his entire book and make it my own blog... just kidding..
