It's milk inoculated with a bacterial culture. "Imagine your grandmother or your great-grandmother picking up this tube, holding it up to the light, trying to figure out how to administer it to her body - if indeed it is something that goes in your body - and then imagine her reading the ingredients," he says. Take, for example, the portable tubes of yogurt known as Go-Gurt, Pollan says. His tip: "Don't eat anything that your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food." Pollan acknowledges that distinguishing between food and "food products" takes work. "We are eating a lot of edible food-like substances, which is to say highly processed things that might be called yogurt, might be called cereals, whatever, but in fact are very intricate products of food science that are really imitations of foods." The implication of Pollan's advice, however, is that what we're eating now isn't food. That is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy," Pollan tells Steve Inskeep. That's the advice journalist and author Michael Pollan offers in his new book, In Defense of Food.
