Can you really have your cake and eat it? According to Michael Pollan, you can.

Michael Pollan, an award-winning food writer, explains how to eat well without sacrificing all those foods that you love.

In this fun RSA short animation film, Pollan explains how to eat well by following one simple rule without the need for fad diets or deprivation.

According to Pollan, what predicts a healthy diet more than anything else depends on whether the meal was prepared by a human being or a corporation. He argues that corporations use too much salt, fat and sugar in their food, which are incredibly attractive and cheap ingredients.

So what is the one simple rule?

According to Pollan, “Eat anything you want, just cook it yourself.”
