In this reading, Michael Pollan refers to the “Western Diet” in many ways. For example “a hallmark of the Western diet is food that is fast, cheap, and easy” (425). A western diet includes fried and sweet foods, grains, high-fat dairy products, and processed and red meat. People buy this kind of food because it’s easier to buy a meal that has been made for you already rather than cooking a meal from the ingredients you have at home. Pollan indicates that this type of diet is becoming more common in America and comes with consequences.
Pollan suggests that “we should simply avoid any food that has been processed to such an extent that it is more the product of industry than of nature.” I agree with this statement because I try to eat healthy
