I've read "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto" in the past six mo.(by 
Michael Polan)  I  feel his premise is correct.  We don't eat food in the US 
anymore, we eat manufactured concoctions.  I think this has led to the 
problems we see today of so  many people with food allergies and 
intolerances.

One of his rules is: Avoid food products containing ingredients that are: A) 
unfamiliar; B) unpronounceable; C) more than five in number; or that include 
D) high fructose corn syrup.

Think about the next time you pick up a package of dried potato flakes 
instead of real potatoes at the grocery store!  We are what we eat. 
Whatever happened to cooking?  Pat in SNJ
