Oh, I love Michael Pollan.
Didn't read the article yet - have to go get ready for my ride - but I'm sure it will be good. Thanks for the link, Zen!

This was a really great article. A lot of the info was really fascinating. It's so hard sometimes to wade through all the health information out there and make sense of it. I think (well, I hope) deep down we all know that we should be eating real, whole, unprocessed, honest-to-goodness food. I think I will make this part of my New Year's resolution: no "diet," eat food, eat well.

I have thought for many years that you can't go far wrong eating like the peasants. I'm into good, fresh, home-prepared food eaten at a set table.

Yes, very commonsensical. Always good to see something like that on this topic, which seems to be subject to more heat than light, sometimes.

I blew my MIL's mind the other day. She knows me to be health-minded, so she offered me some of the vitamins she was taking. "Want some folic acid?" "No thanks, I had a big plate of spinach for dinner." "Want some Vitamin D?" No thanks, I was out running in the sunshine this morning."
You could almost see her head explode.
