Food is one of the basic needs of everyone. The problem here is when food becomes so integrated into the industrialized process, people forget to understand the ethics behind what they are doing. While I appreciate how the industrialization process as an important notion in providing for the many, I feel that the process on animals is very inhumane because of the favor driven toward maximization of resources in order to provide for everyone. What people fail to look at is how animals are social beings, with some species more intelligent than others. Because of this, food production is a very sensitive issue that must be answered. One thing I would also like to take note of is how Pollan discusses the apparent role of nutritionism and how its complexity has made humanity very particular about the nutrients present in food than the culture behind it. This focus on science rather than culture has led to problematic health consequences. While science itself should never be discounted or taken for granted, incomplete science should be considered. The lack of complete information is dangerous because it provides the tendency for people to presume things without the necessary details needed to ensure proactive development. Food is critical, but we should always focus on redirecting our perceptions toward a more healthful consumption.<\/p>\n
