I got interested in Food (I agree with Michael Pollan, by and large, that a great majority of the American Diet is not Food so much as Edible Food-like Substances. If your product has been processed beyond it's identity as plant or animal, than it's not Food, it's Modern Chemistry.) back when I started dieting. It was sort of a natural progression for me, from caring about what (and how much) I put into my stomach to caring about precisely what I put into my mouth.
