This is the healthy eating philosophy of Michael Pollan, investigative journalist and author of some of the most important books on the American food industry, including The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Healthy eating is a complicated and confusing miasma of information and conflicting advice.īut what if it doesn’t have to be? What if healthy eating can be summed up in 7 little words? “Eat food.
