New York Times food writer Mark Bittman talks about what is wrong with the American diet and how it is wrecking the environment. Basically he says we eat too much meat, junk food, fast food, and don’t eat enough fresh food at home. He briefly discusses the history of how we got here and what we can do to get back on track. He also talks about how the current model of food production is poisoning the planet and wasteful.
It is interesting to think about the past when food was just food and people didn’t worry about carbs, low fat, sugar free and the population was much healthier. Basically advertising has tricked us into thinking the wrong kinds food are what we should be eating to be healthy. This has turned Americans into malnourished fat people.

I’d also recommend the docurama: King Corn, which explores our current model of corn production and how it is causing a malnourished, unhealthy population.
