Michael Pollan reveals such a shocking comparison about what is really a food and a food product. Following Pollan's advice and his five essential rules that he mentions in his book, Food Matters, I believed that it would cause a dramatic change and mindset of my eating habits also my perspective towards foods. The pros about following his advice is that I would benefit of eating an actual food rather than a food produced product with long terms ingredients that I don't remember learning or hearing in any of my sciences' class. The con of following his advice would be my conscious. Before reading this book, I was not aware of what I was eating and giving to my body. After reading, my mind was just blown away and completely changed my mindset of eating. There are plenty of things that I could say that I would give up such as cup of noodles, chips, soda, and Gogurt. I am aware now that these snacks have ingredients that I do not know of but yet it still taste good and that is when my conscious kicks in to decide whether I should restrict myself or continue to eat these food products because the taste is good and be careless of how I am treating my body.
