“Eat Food. Not too much. Mainly Plants.”
Michael Pollan from the
New York Times says he’s discovered the answer to the eternally befuddling multi-billion dollar question of how to battle obesity, stay healthy and be happy.
Eat “Food”! Fight Obesity! Win Friends & Influence People! It’s so simple!
It would seem that much of what we consume is not infact food. You’re much better off eating fresh foods rather than processed food products. That is to say, given the choice, you’re better off eating “food”.
So much so is our love affair with placing “food-alike” substances in our bodies in the form of hydrolised oil, transfat, enriched products and other silly words to make palatable that which is not infact food, that our effluent is toxic. In other words, our shit makes plants die.
Listen up Simba. Poo becomes plants. Plants become food. Food gets eaten by, and becomes People. People then poo… It’s the circle of life.
Eventually People become Food and then People become Poo. Everything you (should) eat is made of bits of stuff which used to be people and poo and trees. We call this stuff “food”. Healthy people eat food.
This isn’t the case in the modern world as our food is tainted by additives and preservatives that our bodies can’t handle. People add things which are infact not food to our food - Additives which poison the next link in the circle of life and lock organic matter (read: potential peoples, trees and FOOD) into unusable states.
So, in conclusion, eat “Food”.
