Food Epidemic?

I believe that our overall health and the food allergy epidemic is tied tightly to our diets. I have come to this conclusion after reading various bits of research on the subject. In the article titled "Unhappy Meals," Michael Pollan helps to explain how our culture has come to where it is in the subject of our food supply and how we choose to eat. Though Pollan does not mention anything about food allergies, I still felt that the article was very enlightening. Pollan's suggestions sound like nothing more than common sense, but obviously, our country as a whole seems to have trouble understanding the issue. I liked this article because it was thorough. Pollan explained a lot of the ideas using scientific data. I would love to know what you think about it.
