dilemma about half way through it and thought it would be good to post some links from oprah last january posted by jthoagland majority owner ccf by the way lots of good stuff in the book that s part of why i m only half way through it start with the truth about food with michael pollan oprah com there s no more personal choice than what you feed your body but what do you really know about the food you eat fat carbohydrates and calories are listed on every label but where that food comes from what s been added and what s been removed isn t as easy to see real food q and a with michael pollan oprah com michael answers the most frequently asked questions about how to reduce the amount of processed food in your diet and start incorporating fresh foods into your daily life where does your food come from oprah com if you ask someone where his food comes from most would probably say from the grocery store or from a restaurant in an attempt to discover where our food really comes from author michael pollan researched the origins of four different meals and published his results in the book the omnivore s dilemma a natural history of four meals michael talks with dr oz about his book and offers some tips to help you eat better from discovering that a meal from mcdonald s consists mostly of corn grown in the midwest corn fed beef and chicken soda made with high fructose corn syrup and french fries fried in corn oil to uncovering that grocer whole foods s suppliers are mostly large scale organic farms not small producers michael says he s now better informed when it comes to choosing healthy environmentally friendly foods if you want to eat the freshest most nutritious food possible michael offers this advice steer clear of fast food we can t get all of the nutrients we need from processed corn michael says even though there is no corn on the menu at mcdonald s all of the carbon in that meal was created by corn plants don t buy foods found in the middle aisles of a supermarket michael says most processed foods are found in the middle aisles and those foods almost always contain fewer nutrients than fresh perishable foods found on the outer perimeters of the store get out of the supermarket try buying foods at farmers markets or through community supported agriculture programs you are participating in a local short food chain with usually sustainable farmers he says they are picking food when it is fresh which is when it is at the peak of not only its taste value but its nutritional value pay attention to what your food eats buying meat from grass fed cows or wild caught fish is more nutritious than their corn fed counterparts michael says learn how to cook we really need to take back control of our food and that is going to mean cooking more but i m also going to argue that cooking is not as hard as many of us make it out to be he says eat food not too much mostly plants this is one of michael s mottos if you do that you are going to be all right michael says at 6 20 pm no comments monday april 12 2010 green cuisine we decided to bump our support for food for thought green cuisine when wednesday july 14th 2010 time 5
