Michael Pollan and Michael Moss visit a typical supermarket and talk about cooking and the food industry.

i'd probably watch a full length feature with these 2, very interesting.

I would love to see a full documentary with these two! Great video!

I went to an asian supermarket and vegetables seafood, and fruits took up most of the store and there was a small area of processed foods

I love this! I think Michael Pollan is wonderful!

Hi Michael, You should do a super deep-dive into organic dairy and talk to milk inspectors across the country. Apparently, the organic dairy industry is completely unregulated. I won’t mention names or my source but a friend of mine had such a position with the USDA. He found rats in vats of organic milk. He told me of a particular dairy, owned by one of the major grocery chains in the country, whose ratings were consistently 100% for cleanliness.

After watching this I went to the fridge to check my yoghurt. And it's the last time that thing will be in my fridge.

You can always get plain greek yogurt, even low fat and it has next to no sugar. It tastes more like sour cream though, but it will be way better for you (even healthier than sour cream).

Americans cook less because we have less time! I'm middle aged (over 40). When I was young, my mother didn't work outside the house. We were able to have a decent middle class lifestyle with just my father's income; one car, one TV, no cell phones, no Internet bills, & no cable TV. We kids played outside the house, our parents didn't have to drive us all over the place for activities, and we all ate dinner at the same time everyday. Life is very different today mainly because economics dictate it to be so. Both parents are working, our commutes are much longer and time consuming, we're splitting each dollar earned more ways than ever before, and mother's, the primary domestic overseer, don't have luxury of free time as they used to. They were simpler times, and I'd argue, better times. Life is far demanding than it used to be. We've gone backwards. BTW, in case you haven't noticed, the middle class in the US is now a minority, falling below 50%.

Somehow, I got the feeling that Moss did not agree on the frozen vegetables. ;)
Many don't. But I also don't get why. It's not like that stuff is precooked or anything... Yes, they do taste different than fresh vegetables but the freezing process still keeps the nutrients better. I e.g. have some peppers in my fridge that I bought yesterday. And I will cook them tomorrow. By then, there are probably almost no vitamins left in them.

You can tell they faced up before they filmed this. Looks so neat

Interesting video. As far as the yogurt is concerned, the solution to that is to either buy plain yogurt or make your own. I make a quart of yogurt several times a week, and it only costs about $0.50

[ElefitTV]

Great video, cool how they shut down a whole supermarket to film! I want that influence!

[dishservedcold]

Those two look cute grocery shopping together

[valnaples]

NICE VIDEO! Trader Joe's sells a bag of frozen spinach, not the block they show here, for $1.49 a pound...great stuff...you can just GRAB a handful of frozen spinach and add to any soup or stew very quickly...just saying. Canned beans are pretty good for a "processed food" too if you can't make your own from dried beans.

I ate this video up so fast and want more of this two lads.

[tubiyuu]

i always use plain yoghurt and mix it with honey if i need sweetness.

[Chames_Chaikowski]

These two reminds me of that

Fruit flavored cereal with no fruit in it and apple flavored cereal with no apple in it. Marshmallows were made from marshmallow plants now they make marshmallows without any actual marshmallow in it.

If the idea is to out sugar the opposition for more sugar then wouldn't there be a market for the opposite as well.
