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?


In a word Crap. That allso goes for the U. K.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding
us that we are not the boss.
