Additionally, some whole foods that previous generations used to consume are now heavily processed, but people are not aware of it. For instance, yogurt should only be made out of milk, bacteria culture and salt. Nonetheless, there are many unnecessary additives such as sugar, and chemicals added to dairy products. Therefore, Pollan’s first food principle might eliminate many processed foods from the Americans’ diet, but people should be more aware of the unnecessary additives in their food products. Therefore, Pollan proposed his second food principle; according to Pollan, people must “avoid food products containing ingredients that are A) Unfamiliar, B) Unpronounceable, C) More than five numbers or that include D) High fructose corn syrup”
