I wanna know...

I trust him.

He is just like anyone of us. he has eaten food all of his life and now he wants to find out where his food actually comes from. We all until recently have lived in blind ignorance when it comes to our food. He like a few others who are stepping out to inform themselves as well as others about the fact that what we think are chicken nuggets are not really chicken nuggets and the corn epidemic is real and the fact that even the organic food movement has been tainted, for what??. I think thats the reason for his book, why would he have to lie about this stuff...I actually don't even think this is a question about trust, I don't think Pollan wants us to trust him, i mean we've trusted so much when it comes to food..I trusted that "happy cows come from California" and that my toast didn't have corn in it..and look were it got us. Pollan doesn't care if we trust him or not but he is giving us the opportunity to learn and develop an understanding into the Truths of our food.
