 Honestly, I find Michael Pollan very annoying. Why does he have to make life harder than it already is? Why does he have to make such a hassle of eating? Why can't he let us eat in peace? 

All of the informations and facts that he wrote are currently occupying my mind. Now, I can't really enjoy my food when I'm supposed to. All of the horrifying truths keep haunting me whenever I spoon something into my mouth. Yet, I trust him because what he wrote was not based on his emotional perspective. He provided data and evidence to support his findings. For me, everything must be proven by evidence before I can trust in it and Pollan did a good job in convincing me.

He did not try to shift our point of view to a particular side. Instead, he gave us all kinds of information regarding it and let us decide what we want to do with it. I like the way he conveys his experience. As for me, he is not biased towards a side (well, at least for me!). He gave the pros and cons of both sides. All that he was trying to do is reveal his findings to us.

Thanks to him, now I know lots of things about the food that I am eating and to be more concious of my diet. But thanks to him too for making me feel guilty whenever I eat meat (I'm not going to be a vegetarian though!).
