Many seem to know exercise and diet is important, but that it can be better than medicine is surprising to some. However, it is no surprise to those dinning on raw food, especially after having had past episodes experiencing ill health. Raw food enthusiasts often imply the benefits of dinning the raw food way, as obtaining true health, the very best thing to do for your body. "Cooked foods cannot create true health because they are missing some very vital elements needed by the body for its optimal functioning, things like enzymes, oxygen, hormones, phytochemicals, bio-electrical energy and life force."

In “Escape from the Western Diet” Michael Pollan argues against the scientific theories of nutrition, and discusses the harmful effects, and chronic diseases associated with the Western Diet. Pollan offers an alternate view of a healthier lifestyle to escape the western diet that simply suggests that we “stop eating and thinking that way.” (Pollan 423) He explains that the food industry has changed the wholeness of our food, which causes us to eat unhealthier things such as fast food. He approaches a solution to these contradictory theories and science by focusing on a personal approach to eating that is based on the individual's view of food. Pollan three rules to create a healthier lifestyle are to “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants” (Pollan 426) which suggest to eat “real” food in a new balanced and healthy way that creates a pleasurable approach of eating. I agree with Pollan’s concepts about the western diet and his rules of eating simpler.
In the article titled, “Mom was Right: You Are What You Eat”, author David Katz, MD, discussed the importance of eating a “clean”, and healthy diet and its impact on the body. Katz also attempts to answer the age old question of what has the most impact on one's health, nature or nurture? Katz discusses how clean, healthy foods, as well as processed and nutrient-deficient junk food, impacts the health of a person’s very cells. Katz makes the point that since a person’s body loses and replaces their cells throughout their lives, that they quite literally become what they eat. David Katz makes mentions to multiple studies done on the subject of “clean food” diets, and the results they have produced.
The purpose of this paper is to argue that Michael Pollan’s theory, to “eat food [but] not too much Mostly plants” is a good way to eat because it helps people to live longer. Michael Pollan, author of the 2007 article, “Unhappy Meals” and the book In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto, argues for "eating food. Not too much. Mostly plants"(Pollan). People are "better off eating whole fresh foods than processed food products" (Pollan). He argues that nutrients are not food and he is right. Nutrients are located in food and food is nutrients. Fresh foods are natural byproducts of the earth. People "should avoid food products that make health claims"(Pollan) because a health claim on a food product is a good indication that it's not really
The article Simple Rules for Healthy Eating by Aaron E. Carroll which mainly focuses on what you should and shouldn’t eat more of.

The field of nutrition science has yet to understand many factors that allow it to optimize nutrition for every-body. The very nature of the human body is subjective; it cannot be narrowed down to one factor, as science demands and varies from person to person. Pollan (2008) further delineates this point in his critique of reductionist science saying: “there is nothing very machinelike about the human eater, and to think of food as simply fuel is to misconstrue it” (p.

Nutrition science is the study of micronutrients (when food is broken down its smallest components) and its impact on human health and behavior. Various curious nutritionists are conducting research so as to identify the probable nutrient due to which western diet is accused to be the source of chronic diseases. Michael Pollan explores different theories in an effort to resolve the issue. The western lifestyle has made it difficult to avoid intake of processed or industrialized food. The eating habits have significantly changed over the due course of time. Individuals maintaining a western diet are observed to be more prone to chronic disease than those who follow traditional diets. The key to healthy life is to create a filter against processed food, may it be meat or vegetables. A complete change in culture and adaptation of three rules will bring a dynamic change.

Many would like to point out that processed foods still contain vitamins, but truthfully they do not provide the quality, or quantity of nutrition gained from eating whole foods. Processed foods, in addition, commonly contain massive amounts of artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, sugar, and hydrogenated oils. The sugars and sodium levels in these foods sometimes surpass the daily recommended allowance. These monstrous additives can cause allergic reactions or even eventually degenerative diseases (Health Teacher). Not all is lost in today’s fast food society; there is an alternative that can prevent our bodies from being overtaken by food imposters.

Our modern diet may be making us sick. Richard Wrangham, a Harvard primatologist, argues that the biggest revolution in the human diet came not when we started to eat meat but when we learned to cook. “Our human ancestors who began cooking sometime between 1.8 million and 400,000 years ago probably had more children who thrived,” Wrangham says, “Cooking produces soft, energy-rich foods…. Today we can’t survive on raw, unprocessed food alone, we have evolved to depend upon cooked food.” Not only did cooking give early humans the energy that was needed to build bigger brains, but it also helped get in more calories from food so that weight could be put on. We as a society have become so good at processing foods that for the first time in human
