Michael Pollan

Omnivores Dilemma

In Omnivores Dilemma, Micheal Pollan is trying to tell us that American's do not have a food culture. Since we don't have a food culture Pollan says that we follow any fab. What any nutrition says is "healthy" we believe, not doubting it whatsoever. A new diet come and we are following it almost instantly, showing that we follow what corporate media says we should eat. This can be seen in supermarkets. Where the most eye catching boxes and items are the unhealthy ones. They make the things that we shouldn't eat pop, so we see them before anything else. We constantly listen to what people want us to eat, and say we should eat.
In my family, I don't think we listen to what experts say as much, yes when we see that something healthy comes up on t.v or in magazines we talk about it and discuss whetter it truly is healthy. My family does not follow fab diets, my mom cooks and makes it healthy based on what she grew up hearing and believing in Ecuador.
