Michael Pollan’s best advice for eating healthier food

Great commentary!
Home cooking rules. It's a fine way to nourish your creativity and can be budget friendly as well.

good

I love this man!

The food industries are simply criminals for poisoning us with these horrible additives, corn syrups, preservatives. It takes a strong will in this culture to stop all the junk foods but it can be done. I notice my thinking is clearer when I stop sugar for example. And sugar is in everything like you say. So reading labels is important. It's crazy for example that in order to drink coke with sugar and not corn syrup you have to buy Mexican coke.

problem is doctors disagree.
The doctor i listen to is Caldwell Esselstyn, was President Ckintons heart doctor.

Actually it's a lot cheaper to eat well than to eat crap. Especially on the back end when the health prblems.

dollar store

WHO CARES??? COMPANIES HAVE RECORD PROFITS SO THAT MEANS THE COUNTRY IS DOING SO GOOD!!! WHEN BIG CORPORATIONS WIN WE WIN 🤑🤑

We have a capitalist mindset that drives everything. Food manufactures buy out government regulators. Health isn’t important generating capital is.

Convenience equals death. Profit over people, the good ole American way! Most people I feel Like could care less about their diet. I work in a hug office, 3000 employes, most of them are depressed, obese and eat fast food at least 1-2x a day.

Wild horses eat plant based. You’re welcome.

Thank you for that! I am almost 3 months off sugar. It feels so much better.

Cook at home. Next question.

You’re not getting any nutritional value from processed foods, that’s why you over eat. You’re still hungry.

Mostly plants? No, I think imo meat is just as important as plants. So 50/50. And you tell by researching the vegetarian and the carnivore diets. They both have very strong points on the value of both plants/meat. Organ meats! And fasting!

Market the illness (they're killing us with the food) and then sell us the "cure" (GLP-1s).

How can politicians sleep at night knowing they sold their own country out for money

What’s crazy is no doubt this comment section (cbs watchers) is mostly liberal, so when RFK Jr said the exact same things, they labeled him as a quack, but now bc it’s not an ally of the dreaded orange man, the message is received.

Crock pots are great, too. And eat local. I am lucky to live near a bunch of local farms to get fresh eggs, milk, beef, and veggies.

The FDA is bought by corporations.

Fruits and vegetables =PESTICIDES meat and dairy =STEROIDS … mercury in the ocean I even noticed PLUMP wildlife overweight raccoons and opossums from raiding garbage cans eating processed garbage 🫣🤦🏾‍♀️

Food is KILLING us.

RFK ahead of the curve

Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food. Hypocrites.

Company's sell what you buy. Stop eating it and it will stop. No one is tricking you.

FAST!

Corporate America doesn’t want healthy citizens. They control the food, pharmaceuticals and hospitals, and they’re getting richer with every bite. Real, enforceable policy changes need to happen to make corporations accountable, but unfortunately, with a president who eats and encourages fast food, nothing will happen. He served Mcdonald’s to U. S. athletes for godsakes!

Sorry, but its simply not true that frozen food and packaged food is cheaper. Convenient, yes. Cheaper NOPE.

Manufactured illness and treatment all produced under the same roof.

If you can pay $9 for a 12 pack of can soda, you can easily pay $1.99 a pound for zuchini. If fresh vegetables aren't in the budget, frozen is just as good. Try it. You'll save a ton. Don't believe the lie that whole foods cost more than boxed process foods because they don't.

We shouldn’t need the government to intervene and subsidize healthy foods. People should be making those decisions themselves. More government intervention is not the answer to our health issues.

My diet plan is to eat the way people ate 200 years ago (loosely). I try to eat what's in season, cook from scratch at home, and limit restaurant visits to special occasions. I eat smaller portions, I eat the real food instead of a substitute and I get my eggs from people who let their chickens run and scratch the ground. Store bought bread no longer molds! I bought a bread machine for $10 and now make my bread. I also make bread in the oven as well.
For the people who say cooking from scratch is time consuming, I can pull together a healthy scratch meal in 20 minutes. Here a quick dinner: Cook rice on the stove. While that is cooking, throw sausage or chicken, broccoli, a chopped onion, and seasonings into a greased frying pan and cook until the meat is done and the vegetables are tender. The rice should be done by then. Mix the rice and the frying pan ingredients together in a bowl. Voila!

Dear YouTube, please stop recommending videos I’ve already seen. Thank you.

How do you get the country to eat healthy when our leader is obese and eats junkfood?

What if you absolutely hate vegetables? The taste gags me.

One of the simplest nutrition lessons I’ve ever heard is: if your great-grandparents wouldn’t recognize it as food, maybe think twice. The grocery aisle has changed more in the last 50 years than in the previous several hundred. What’s one small change you’ve made to eat less processed food?

We need the STATE to come in and control our food intake. The STATE will provide us with healthy food. No more sugar, salt, meat, anything that tastes good. Just bugs and seeds. It can work!!

It's also about getting back to a point where both parents do NOT have to work! Luckally my family can go a large part of the week cooking meals from home because I am a work from home parent now. I start my work day early so I can end early and make dinner for the family.

Remember that no government wants healthy old people, simply because these folks represent an expense only. They will always accept crap in the supermarket because it helps the government to … balance the budget.

I beat a nasty drug addiction around 6 years ago. I am currently battling back from a lifelong processed food addiction. I now only eat whole food stuffs; deer, turkey, chicken, beans, wild rice and tons of spinach

Yeah, I was planned most of my life until it made me sick. I turned carnivore and I have no more stomach ache stomach problems, bloating gas I’m 100% better. One diet is not perfect for everyone. We are individuals. This is why I don’t listen to people when they say this is the diet I’m on lol I tried that diet. It didn’t work for me and it was most of my life. I’m 69 now and I’m in great shape. I work out all the time but it’s mostly eggs, fish sardines, turkey some red meat, steak here and there. Good fats. No alcohol, no sugarno processed foods

The “Food” enables the “Drug”. This equates to a lot of profit.

Carnivore for years, never felt better.

Dr. Kessler was a wonderful FDA Commissioner. I trust him explicitly.

You have to read Barbarians at the Gate. RJ Reynolds bought Nabisco. RJ Reynolds brought their evil to food. The funny thing is cigarettes are still killing 8 million people a year. Addiction equals profits, follow the money. Broccoli is green but it's cost ineffective.

60 minutes featuring a writer who has NO experience in nutrition telling us how we should eat 😂😂😂😂😂

My recommendation is if it says "chef boyardee" eat it.

Another reason for a stay at home wife/mom. Natural fresh home cooked meals

If your great grandmother wouldn’t recognize the ingredient do eat it
