    Michael Pollan expresses the need to address and fix the problem with the western diet. He starts by reminding the readers of all the nutritional theories that try to explain the health diseases that are affecting American people. The author challenges these theories by placing the blame on the health and food companies, because they create new products and medicines instead of looking at the root causes. Although an easy solution would be to not eat as much processed foods, the author points out how even nature things like soil condition and livestock feed can make that task harder than it should be. Michael Pollan suggests that the consumers are part of the problem because they do not spend enough time or money on our food preparation because…

Pollan indicates that this type of diet is becoming more common in America and comes with consequences.…

    Today in day, our country argues that our population is facing a really bad health crisis. The main reason why people might argue that our country is facing a health crisis is because of the rising rates of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and high blood pressure. For example, food activist Michael Pollan argues that our country should stop relying on processed foods and should rely more on fresh organic foods. Michael Pollan also argues, “People eating a Western diet are prone to chronic diseases that seldom strike people eating more traditional diets.” In this case, I would agree with author Michael Pollan because some of the population in our country suffer from heart diseases, diabetes, and obesity.…
