I am simultaneously reading
Michael Pollan's "In Defence of Food" and Steven Poole's "You Aren't
What You Eat- Fed Up With Gastroculture".
Both these books are doing a fair
job of dismantling my core life philosophy, and highlighting just
how bamboozling, contrived and wrong Western food science/culture is. Nice one.
I have spent two days living that very zen experience of having my ego destroyed. Realising that all
which I value and am valued for may be superficial and facetious.
While undertaking a crazy, faddist diet chock full of untested and trendy super-foods, which cost the earth (monetarily and maybe
environmentally) and may actually be messing with my hormones/adrenal
system, which I am trying to fix.
Aaarrghhhh!
Fascinating stuff.
