For a more detailed but easy to digest (pardon the pun) information of this failure of the North American diet check out Michael Pollan’s In Defense of Food. Just reading it now but have read his other books previously. Essentially by tinkering with fertilizers and GMOs we are getting less nutrition in the shape of more calories. As he puts it, if it has more than five ingredients and you cannot pronounce those ingredients it isn’t food, it is a food product.

I like your weekend readings-they are always interesting. I just discovered your blog and I really like that you write for MediaSmarts as well. I taught media for years in high school and I found MediaSmarts to be a very helpful site.
My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
