Where They Grow Our Junk Food

Follow the flow of food. That's what any farmer will tell you. Because apples don't grow in supermarkets. So to get to the root of the exploding obesity epidemic, I went in search of a junk food farm.

Ohh my!! Stop the production of junk food? What would the world do? What would the world eat and survive on? You mean parents would have to cook again? And families would actually sit down and eat healthy food sitting at a table and converse with each other? The world must be coming to an end. I'm not sure this all could happen without causing chaos at a major scale that would stop the world from spinnining on its axis.

Thanks Tierney. Great Article. It is great to see Michael Pollan referenced in these articles. He is an articulate writer and backs himself up well with great research. This article speaks to his work.
