* Real Food

Posted on December 31st, 2008 by Dave Johnson. Filed under Food.


I have been reading In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan lately and it is fascinating to hear the recent history of food politics. Pollan’s tag line from In Defense of Food is to “eat food, not too much, mostly plants” which I certainly agree with. He also focuses on the idea of eating *real* food, by which he means eating food that has not been fortified with nutrients or vitamins or has had the natural fats removed from it.

More to the point, last weekend the family had eggs for breakfast and this is what they looked like:

We had purchased some free range organic eggs from the store and also had some from the farm down the road, which they market as just eggs and give them to you in reused packaging from the ones you get from the store. Can you guess which one is the “free range organic” one?
