do Why we know more about nutrients in foods than their taste and how to prepare them?
Who benefits from nutritionism?
According to Pollan, nutritionism is the ideology that takes an importance of the chemical and
macronutrient basis of the food we consume rather than the importance of enjoyment of eating
foods by its taste, or the desire of eating certain foods for ones craving. This ideology further
focuses and labels foods and categorizes them into what is supposedly good and bad for your
body. Nutritionism relates to the major themes of the chapters because the chapters we cover try
to define what nutrition is, and how the manufacturers, media, the and scientists affect the ways
we choose what to eat and how to eat. We know more about nutrients in foods rather than their
taste and how to prepare them because as more and more people are aware of how to stay fit and
healthy, we are more interested in what substances are in the foods to benefit our body.
Scientists, journalists, and the manufacturers definitely are the ones who benefit from
nutritionism, because they gain popular interest in the idea of which food is greater than which
and which are bad. Therefore, the manufacturers and scientists continue to develop products
that can benefit the body.
