Michael Pollan on Nutritionism

[mindstalk]

Longish essay but well worth reading, I think.  Save a copy if you don't want to read it right off, it's the New York Times.

er, i should clarify... by couldn't have sandwiches or anything but water... i could have had diet pop. but now i can have sugar-free la croix (which actually tastes decent and doesn't have a sugar substitute), a batch of unsweetened teas, coke one (which has some diet sweetner but is less syrupy). etc... and while i was limited to slightly unpleasant still fairly-high carb wheat bread before, now there's a batch more i can get (plus I can eat breakfast cereal, noddles, soup, etc...).
