This article describes real food troubles years ago. We need to be more appreciative of the safety we do have, according to the author.
“Endless fear of food isn’t healthy. During the same period in the 1980s and ’90s when the American health establishment was pushing a fear of fat (specifically anything delicious such as butter), the nation got fatter. When all food seems scary, a kind of apathy sets in. We fail to distinguish real frights from bogus ones. And we forget about a little thing called pleasure.
“Our food hysteria has spawned numerous myths, most of which take us farther and farther away from the simple pleasures of a good meal.”
