Since this is suppose to be based on my thoughts,Micheal Pollan did nothing and things most likely will never change. If people eat a certain food and most people like it,it's going to stay there until no one wants to even eat it anymore.I still eat my "fatty foods" but I also do enjoy my fruits vegetables and etc and I think as long as you balance it it's ok. Pollan's arguments also weren't strong enough to make me agree. Sometimes hell make on sided statement and not even show graphs or anything and that makes a person second guess everything he says or anyone who does.
Dr. Cox,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that Pollan makes a "one sided statement". When we make our arguments, it is good to remember that we should make sure we acknowledge and respond to the conflicting viewpoint. Thanks for sharing!
