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?

Tel us what trees we can eat


maple, black birch, hickory, walnut, hazel, chestnut, apple,
pear, plum, peach, citrus...
