After read the two articles written by Michael Pollan, and Melanie Du Puis, I found that both of them are talk about the food advice. In Puis’s article “Angles and Vegetables-A Brief History of Food Advice in America”, she answers the question: why we love to read the food advice? Her answer is “Because we have lost our faith in both religion and science as guides to eating, we rely on popular writers to steer us through a welter of confusing and contradictory.”(34) And, she talks about the development of food advice in America in her article.

In Pollan’s article, the author show unbelieving in the nutrients. He quest nutritionism in his article “So nutritionism is good for business. But is it good for us?”(5) He claim some diseases are not relat to the fat. Also, he tells us that “fat doesn’t make you fat; carbs to.”(5) So, in pollan’s article, he talks a lot about the misunderstanding on food. And, these misunderstanding are headed by nutritionism. He also mentions some history of food advice – nutrients.
