Omnivore's+Dilemma

=AMERICA'S EATING DISORDER=


 * Discussion**

MichelleTCA December 6,2009 The Author of __The Ominvore’s Dilemna,__ Michael Pollan, set out in this book to look into the way Americas way of eating has developed and to analyze the lack of culture and history in the way Americans eat. Michael Pollan stated, “ there are other countries such Italy and France, that decide their dinner questions on the basis of such quaint and unscientific criteria as pleasure and tradition, eat all manners of “unhealthy” food, and, lo and behold, wind up actually healthier and happier in their eating than we are.” He relates a lack of strong cultural influence in our eating to why we follow such food fads as the Atkins diet. In the United States food has become more about convenience and the latest diet trend, rather than what is actually healthy for the consumer. The spiritual principle represented here is found in 1 Corinthians 6:19 that our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit and we ought to treat them as so, nourishing them properly. This chapter of __The Ominvore’s Dilemna__ could put more of a focus on what American’s can do to change their eating habits.

Impact
Shaaritca December 6, 2009 Our country is going through an eating disorder. Not the ones that normally come to mind like anorexia or bulimia. Our eating disorder is that we have significantly changed the way we eat. Michael Pollan states, "My wager in writing __The Omnivore's Dilemma__ was that the best way to answer the question we face about what to eat was to go back to the very beginning..." We have become obsessed with we are eating. We continually try to find different ways to keep eating without over doing it. We see advertisements for the ingredients in food or how they were grown, but we don't know what they mean. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says our bodies are not our own and that we need to honor God with them. We need know what we are eating. Not only should we know, but we should act on the knowledge once we discover it.
