Response to Ashley Wagner's Blog Post

Ashley Wagner mainly focuses on the “Western Diet” that Pollan discusses in his book, “In Defense of Food.” The western diet is where we eat food that our bodies are not meant to digest. We eat a lot of unusual foods that are much higher in fat. Ashley also brought up the point I wrote about, that we eat foods that are “imitations” of the real food. I agree with Ashley 100% on her entire response because I basically wrote the same thing. Something that she brought up that I didn’t was the fact that we have complete control over what we eat, and fast food is high on our list. We eat what is convenient to us and what is delicious. We forget about getting our daily nutrients or we just don’t have time to get them. The article that Ashley linked too talked about Pollan. It basically discussed that Pollan’s main topics of his 5 books are about the farming world related to what we eat.
