I read Pollan's article before coming over to Salon this evening. I found it most illuminating.
Those of us with any opportunity to understand food, how it is made, and how to make it ourselves should revel in this chance. Food sustains us, makes us alive and well when done properly, and all this throwaway segment can do is cast aspersions at Pollan's gender? Perhaps written by one with all the benefits of an upper-class upbringing, Ms. Harding can get Whole Meals at Whole Foods, but not everyone can be so lucky.
My life has been made immeasurably better by understanding food. Learning to cook - really cook - for myself and my loved ones has made me healthier, happier, and more energetic. Far better than any nonsense fad diet consisting of pre-packaged garbage in the freezer aisle at Megalomart.
Now, I do have a penis, so I know my thoughts are suspect, but I stand by them.
