A Chicken McNugget is corn upon corn upon corn, beginning with corn-fed chicken all the way through the obscure food additives and the corn starch that holds it together.
-Michael Pollan, science journalist
I just finished reading an interesting article written by Michael Pollan and published in the New York Times about the prevailing dietary trends of Americans. Entitled Unhappy Meals, the article is fun to read as the author's wit and superb knowledge about the subject will never bore you as you go along the long essay.
You can read it here. It's quite long do, so take your time and grab your favorite vitamin fortified, low salt, low cholesterol, omega3-rich, and preservative-free chips -- and find yourself guilty of what Pollan calls Nutritionism.
