Random surfing lead me to this article, which I feel like sharing: Unhappy Meals

Don't let the article's title deceive you - fast food is mentioned all of twice in the entire 12-page essay and mostly for pun value. Rather than demonizing the industrial food complex yet again (it's a problem, yes, I got it the first three thousand times around) the author delves into how we got to modern American food culture and why food science isn't managing to derail the diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems that our diet seems to produce. He finishes with several suggestions for eating well (you could say he starts with them, but he gets into more detail at the end). It's a good read if you're interested in the interaction between health and food.
