In Defense of Food: Author, Journalist Michael Pollan on Nutrition, Food
Science and the American Diet

Acclaimed author and journalist Michael Pollan argues that what most
Americans are consuming today is not food but łedible food-like
substances.˛


What is a food like substance? Its either food or it is not.

Carbohydrates, sugars are basic food. What is a edible food-like substance?
