Pandora's Lunchbox

I'm reading Pandora's Lunchbox. It's about the processed food industry. It's a little bit too "inside baseball" (I'm not too interested in the history of Kellog's, Kraft, and others) for me, however, there are some interesting items. I did find it fascinating that vitamin D that is in many processed foods comes from sheep grease (yep, even in your milk). The sheep skin is shipped to China and then turned into vitamin D. I think I'll continue to get my vitamin D from the best source - the Sun.

Here's an interview with the author (Melanie Warner).

After reading and watching, the best advice I can conjure up comes from Michael Pollan: "Eat food." And, that's what I do and recommend.

Watch How Did Processed Food Take Over the American Meal? on PBS. See more from PBS NewsHour.
