Michael Pollan Quote [General]

2009 Jun 10
“If we decide cooking is important to our health and our family life,” he says, “we'll find the time to do it. People spend a lot of time waiting for takeout – or watching cooking shows on television. And the ads during all those shows are for fast food – they're not for cooking utensils.”
“I think,” he says, “that the rule to end all rules should simply be, don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV.”

Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto and The Omnivore's Dilemma among others.

And there was a brief but good Q & A session yesterday with the author online here:

"don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV"

I love it!

Of course, not having TV that is easy for me to do :-)
