Michael Pollan on Nightline

by Taylor Brooks on Jul 16th, 2008


Michael Pollan - Nightline from Taylor Brooks.

Recently, I've been on a health kick.  In January I peaked at 210 lbs.  Today, I weighed a little less than 180.  30+ lbs folks!  But this isn't a post about how I lost so much weight (there will be one for that later).

Michael Pollan's writings and his book In Defense of Food had a heavy influence on me and how I changed my eating behaviors.  I started to eat more whole foods.  More organic foods.  I cut out all the foods that were highly processed and contained lots of sugar.  As a result, I feel healthier and I appreciate food more.

In a related story, Whole Foods Market is my favorite grocer now.  I love that place.  Check out this video discussion between Pollan and Whole Foods' CEO John MackeyArticle here.

I like it… Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. It’s funny that this is such a revolutionary concept. Common sense is such a rare commodity these days.
