Pollan’s new book on the U.S. food chain – the “oil diet”
The American corn diet is really an oil diet. Corn, as Pollan puts it, “is the SUV of plants. Growing it the way we do requires it to guzzle fuel in the form of fertilizer, about a quarter to a third of a gallon of petroleum for each bushel.” Processing the corn requires even more energy, as does moving those corn-derived products around the country.
