He wrote the book to inform consumers about where their food actually comes from and some of the different ways and processes that food is grown and processed to bring it to the grocery store shelves or the farmers market. Pollan had a very interesting approach to showing consumers just exactly where their food comes from through a type of documentary stance. First, he tried to follow the industrial food chain, from a bushel of corn from a field in Iowa along the complex and strange path it takes to end up in a fast-food place.

    In “What You Eat Is Your Business,” Radley Balko tackles the issue of who is responsible for fighting obesity. Balko argues that the controversy of obesity should make the individual consumers culpable for their own health and not the government (467). As health insurers refrain from increasing premiums for obese and overweight patients, there is a decrease in motivation to keep a healthy lifestyle (Balko 467). As a result, Balko claims these manipulations make the public accountable for everyone else 's health rather than their own (467). Balko continues to discuss the ways to fix the issue such as insurance companies penalizing consumers who make unhealthy food choices and rewarding good ones (468).
