[Course] [MasterClass] Intentional Eating - Michael Pollan


I followed the Masterclass Course  - Intentional Eating - Michael Pollan and I thought it to be interesting. It's almost a podcast, but there are videos intertwined with him speaking and some field trips.

Lesson #1 - to eat intentionally, sitting at the table, enjoying the richness of your meal, the aspect, the colors, the smell, appreciating the work of the people who helped bring this to your table ( so no unhealthy snaks mindlesly watching TV or standing)

Lesson #2 - eat healthy, not too much, mostly vegetables, less meat

CLASS

1. Meet the Instructor 

2. Rethink your relationship with food. Your values impact your eating choices. Every time we eat we make a statement about our eating values. Align your eating choices with your values. 

Values: Community. Sustainability. Animal Welfair. Pleasure. Social Justice (right compensation of workers in food industry). Health. Sustainability. Ethics. Enjoyment. Connection. Comfort. Convenience. Accessibility. Rank them according to what matters most to you, and what matters least.

Rethink your values from time to time, are you valuing what's really important?

Assignment: Get in contact with nature, with food. Plant some microgreen seeds. You will gain confidence that you can plant some seeds and that the plant will grow and you can use them in your meal after they grow.

3. Confront barriers to intentional eating. Eating well shouldn't be elitst.  The organic food is more expensive, it's more expensive meat from grass fed animals, but there are solutions. Quality vs quantity? A small quantity of a high quality product or large quantity of not so high quality product? Organic is not necessarily the first choice, fresh fruits and vegetables are. Home cooking is the cheapest method. Cook in large quantities and put the excess in the freezer. Go to farmer's market instead of the supermarket. Buying from local markets is more sustainable, food doesn't have to travel long distances to reach you, it's fresher and with less conservants. Eat seasonal legumes and fruits. Look for local food associations. Subscribe to a farm and order vegetables on weekly basis.
