Michael Pollan Shares His Skepticism of Nutrition Science

From the archives: This video is from an interview and 2008 talk that Michael Pollan gave at the Bagdad Theatre in Portland, Oregon. Pollan explains the history of modern nutrition and how the nutrition experts got it wrong.

What he says then is still relevant today. Pollan is speaking directly about "nutritionism", food science, which he believes holds a loftier perch in society than it deserves.
