Michael Pollan
I have seen Michael Pollan on several TV shows. On July 4, he was on NIGHTLINE.
He also have written several books on nutrition and healthy foods. I haven't researched the pros and cons of his writings to know how solid and thorough his recommendations are.
Two things he stresses in his TV appearances have stayed with me and make sense.
If your great grandmother wouldn't recognize the food you're buying or eating, then it's likely not to stay around a while, it's probably not the healthiest, and maybe a food product.
His reasoning is simple: what our great grandmothers knew as food kept people alive for years before them and after.
His other recommendation is to focus on foods from the ground: vegetables, fruits, berries, grains.
He advises approaching shopping in a grocery as many of us do: go around the outside aisle--produce, meats, dairy, grain. Inner aisles for beans, nuts and fresh frozen veggies,coffee or tea.
One thing about him is that you aren't committed to believe his ideas & buy items and cure alls for health such as a Mr.Trudeau. Get his book or books from the library or google his name to evaluate his philosophy.
