After reading the first couple of pages of The omnivore's dilemma : a natural history of four meals, it made me realize how corrupted our food system is. Many people do not have a clue what they are eating but it is the taste they desire. It made me start questioning myself, about how i eat. Lately i been wanting to eat healthy but when i look around in the streets, there are a lot of stores with unhealthy food and i can not find healthy food. When eating fatty foods now a days, people really don't have a clue to what their eating, which was a point proved by Pollan.
Recently, since im trying to start my new diet i have been watching a new series on t.v called COOK YOURSELF THIN which teaches people how to cook your favorite foods in a healthier matter. I find it to be very interested due to the fact that my family does not look at food shows. My family, well my mother cooks what she knows about. I tried talking to her about making new foods with different recipes and start getting to know our food, but i guess the economy has a huge part to play because if she does not like what she has made, she does not look foward to throwing it out.
The first couple of pages really turned my point of view of food keen. I will start to observe my food like i would observe my sneakers.
