That was worth looking up. Michael Pollan says a lot of things that my family has known for years. He is best known for “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Most of what we eat is not what our grandparents would recognize as food – so many chemicals I can’t even pronounce most of the label.
My husband and I have been buying things mostly from the produce and the meat departments at the grocery store – but even then we have problems, because of Monsanto – the agricultural giant who determines how things are grown through lobbyists (and thus, congress). Monsanto is banned in Europe and most of the world, but they have bought their way here. Our crops are seedless, thanks to Monsanto, they have to buy seeds every year to grow these crops rather than have them self propagate.
I could go on, but I have typed too much. Yeah… got one of my buttons. It doesn’t take long to prepare a meal, but most of us don’t.
