Scientific America on the article that’s listed just below this one: Michael Pollan’s latest piece for the New York Times Sunday Magazine, “Unhappy Meals,” seems destined to provoke discussion. I’m inclined to agree with the major proposition of his argument, summarized by his opening claim that the best dietary advice is fundamentally, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Notwithstanding the rise of whole industries linking nutrition to health since the 1970s, supported by endless volumes of research and responsive gyrations by the public, Americans today are more obese and prone to heart disease and diabetes. Pollan attributes the problem to the rise of “nutritionism.”
