- pbreit 13y agoIt's a quote. That makes perfect sense. Give it a rest.
- dredmorbius 13y agoIf you read Pollan's actual formulation, he deconstructs it further: • Eat food: real, minimally processed produce, grains, or meats. As opposed to highly-processed, vaguely food-like substances. • Not too much: addresses the point that, at least as concerns obesity, quantity is crucial. So get that quantity right. • Mostly plants: here arguments vary, but Pollan's big on vegetables (less so grains and such), and the complex compounds, many apparently helpful, they provide. His books are quite a delight to read. I recommend them strongly.
