When people ask for my opinion regarding the cause of our current obesity epidemic among American children, my answer? It is a perfect storm of colliding cultural and agribusiness factors. Nowhere have I seen the whole scenario laid out better than in the New York Times Magazine cover story by Michael Pollan that appeared on January 28, 2007: The Age of Nutritionism.
The causes may be complex, but according to Pollan, the solution is simple: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
I couldn't agree more.

I couldn't agree more! The article was so straighforward and honest. It is so much easier to eat less when you are eating fresh vegetables and foods that actually have their own inherent flavor. Also reminds you to simplify and just be mindful of what goes into your body.
Yes fantastic article.
