the perfict meal
"everything on the menu must have been hunted,gathered,or grown by me." pollan states that this meal is a perfict meal to him but not nessicarally for others. this is because of the satifsaction from preparing the meal purely from scratch. he did this not to present a solution to the many dilemas humans have but he did it to further understand the process and what it takes for someone to create there own meal. im my opinion it is rediculous to expect every family to gorw there own food and hunt for mushroom, and animals. although this stlye of preparation is a solution to foods problems such as the industry it is a totlally illogical solution compared to the world we live in today.

I think that Pollan would agree with you--eating by hunting and gathering is not feasible today. He explains this when he points out that there is not enough wild game to feed the population. Would you have eaten the items on the menu had Pollan invited you to the meal?
