          1. "Real food is things that your great-grandmother would recognize" -- sir, my great-grandmothers were born in the late 1800s. Before The Jungle was written. Do you have ANY idea what they ate?

          I don't have ANY idea what they ate, I would bet that THEY didn't have any idea what they ate

      The above ^^^^^ was a great read and now I'm reading everyone's quote-tweets/replies and eating popcorn with Old Bay seasoning on it, using chopsticks. At minimum my youngest great-grandma would recognize this snack :P

    (also, the two fallacies of the original statement are the "appeal to nature" and the "appeal to antiquity" with Pollan also not taking into account the major tampering of foods my great-grands ate, e.g. formaldehyde in the milk etc. bit.ly/3oePEO2)
