In The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan, he discusses the changes in eating habits of humans leading to eating disorders. People have such busy lives that they are always paying attention to what they are eating. People that are so busy may not even eat. In either situation, eating too much or eating too little are both classified as an eating disorder. Food companies keep producing food, even new products to meet the standards and needs of people today. Look at the labels on foods, are the accurate? Or do food companies mislead you with false labeling? Pollen states that when there is a violent change in the cultures eating habits, eating disorders are more likely to happen.
In Pollan's chapter "Vanishing Species he discusses who's responsibility is its for the flushing out of not only plants but animals? Pollan discusses the history of an Iowa farmer. He talked about what animal came first, then what animal came next and then about crops and so on. He classified them in this specific order due to their importance to the farm. What I found to be interesting was that Pollan mentioned that it wasnt corn that was responsible for remaking the landscape it was the tractor. Now that I think about it, the tractor does has a major impact on farming. Even with this great invention, food production still needs to be done in a timely manner,
