Humans used to know how to eat well, he argues, but the balanced dietary lessons that were once passed down through generations have been confused and distorted by food industry marketers, nutritional scientists, and journalists.

Pollan's advice is: "Don't eat anything that your great-great grandmother would not recognize as food."
