When Pollan said "Men have become tools of their tools" i think he was trying to illustrate how men have became dependant on all the aids they have available to them. For a corn farmer his greatest asset would be his corn. The farmers need this corn in order to provide an income for their family. Without these tools the farmers would be left out to dry and would be rendered inferior to larger, more advanced farms.
Though some refuse to belive it, men as much so as women have certain insecurities about theyre appearance. Most people think that men are generally comfortable with their bodies when this is not the case. Men feel pressured to have toned muscles and washboard abs. Men are generally viewed as powerful figures and are expected to match that assumption. Men that fail to meet this criteria are not held in the same regard as their counterparts. I feel as though, men are entitled to their insecurities, however they should not be viewed as a lesser man if they do not fit the bill for the "perfect man."
Nice work here--"The farmers need this corn in order to provide an income for their family. Without these tools the farmers would be left out to dry and would be rendered inferior to larger, more advanced farms."
