Yet as a general rule, it's a whole lot easier to slap a health claim on a box of sugary cereal than on a raw potato or a carrot, with the perverse result that the most healthful foods in the supermarket sit there quietly in the produce section, silent as stroke victims, while a few aisles over in Cereal the Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms are screaming their newfound "whole grain goodness" to the rafters.
Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food
I have requested this book, at the library. Surely because I read of it, in your blog...

This quote made me smile!! I'll take a carrot or potato any day over Cocoa Puffs!
ReplyDeleteThanks to each of you. This is a great book, and it is already loaded with post its for my book report. As I look at shopping carts, I see much, much more of the processed 'foods' than real food.
ReplyDeleteI heard this author on NPR and really want to read it!
