Introduction

Food on the Offense is a take on the title In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan. This book, put simply, defends food in its truest forms against the ongoing threats of food made by nutritionalism.

In this blog I want to write about the offensive position I am taking personally to show that real food is easier than you think to eat. It will never be as easy as putting a Pizza Pop in the microwave and who wants to poke that thing when it comes out anyway? From the commercials, they seem to make quite the mess. Real food, in comparison, can make a mess but with some fundamentals, planning, and help from family and friends you can, in the words of Jamie Oliver, "cook your way to the good life".

The postings you'll see here will contain pictures, "recipes", articles from the internet*, excerts from books, and anything I think will entertain and inspire you to put real food on the offense against all of those convenience foods out there claiming to make your life easier while proclaiming their healthy benefits.

*I've been collecting articles from a few larger news sites on the internet that claim to have the answer for the reader based upon the newest study on what is good or bad for you. Really, all these do is confuse the reader who may have read an article the day before claiming the exact opposite.
