The author describes how the food industry has evolved over time and how it has affected society, leading to the creation of narco-man, a person who is addicted to fast food and other processed products. The book "Ешь или умри" (Eat or Die) by journalist and writer Michael Pollan explores the history and impact of the food industry on society, highlighting the dangers of the modern food system and the rise of the "narco-man" phenomenon. The book argues that the industrialization of food production has led to a decline in the quality of our diets and a corresponding increase in obesity, disease, and social problems. The author begins by tracing the evolution of the food industry from its origins in agriculture to its current state, where giant corporations control the majority of the food supply. He shows how this process has led to the creation of highly processed, high-calorie foods that are designed to be addictive and appealing to consumers. These foods are often made with cheap ingredients and added sugars, preservatives, and artificial flavorings that have negative effects on health.
