It is possible to for me and my family to avoid foods products that make health claims, because most of the time these products have been highly processed and they are not good for us. also we can start shopping at the farmers market because they offer fresh "organic" products.
In my opinion it will be hard for me and my family to follow some of Pollan’s ideas because it is very hard to change peoples habits. One of the hardest things will be to start shopping at the farmers market, because there aren't many available around my neighborhood, therefore we wont have no choice but to go to the regular supermarket and buy the items we need, also when we need to buy something urgently and the first choice will be to purchase whatever is near around me. Some "organic markets" are far and this will make it difficult for us to stick to "fresh products" Also prices have a big influence on people when it comes to eating healthier, many products like milk, tomatoes, vegetables, etc.., are very expensive and we won’t be able to afford to get everything “organic” and we won’t have no choice but to buy the product that is cheaper .
Some of Pollan's ideas that are impossible for us to do right
now as a family is to be able to plant a garden in our apartment, because we
don't have the space or the time to take care of it .Another impossible thing is
to be able to eat lots of vegetables in restaurants, because many restaurants
all they offer is "junk foods" like burgers, fries and chicken
fingers and when they do offer these "greens" (vegetables), sometimes
they are not fresh or haven't been properly cleaned.
Interesting. You know, many "food" foods are way cheaper than processed foods, so if you eat real food you may be saving some $$.
