      Michael Pollan gave a lot of good advices in his book called In Defense of Food. I did not read the actual book but I read a fragment of it. The way that fragment was written, it made me laugh a little, because I felt as if Pollan was making fun of the food that we consume now when he wrote "Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food". He also has great tips and points, which are helpful to keep a healthy diet and weight, when he writes about eating slowly with company, and consuming lots of vegetables.
      Everything that Pollan, wrote makes sense to me because it's what dietics in U.S. are encouraging people to do, for example, drink V8 because it has couple of daily servings of veggies hidden by the taste of fruits. The thing that I agree the most with the author is the fact, that people in U.S. don't eat enough of produce during the day, sometimes its caused because they can't afford it, I'm not even mentioning the organic produce. What might be hard to accomplish is being able to do gardening, especially in New York City because not everyone has access to the ground, some of us live on 3rd, 10th, or 25th floor. I wish, I could do some gardening on my own but my present lifestyle enables me because I live on the 3rd floor and there is no possible way to garden on fire escape. Of course we tried to have some flowers at least, but they either didn't have enough sun or squirrels and birds were digging them out, Once we even had a nest with pigeon's eggs. It was a complete fail, so me and my Mom gave up on any kind of planting.
