When Pollman says "Men have become tools of their tools" he means many differnt things. For example he means that people aren't able to function without there everyday tools like internet or tv or farmers with there new technology to plant crops. But in fact we became dependent on them we are there tools because it is like they are using us more then we use them cause in a sense we need them so it feels like a necessity instead of a tool. Like eating or sleeping we need too go on the internet. This is what he means when he says this because its not a tool anymore when its something we depend on its a necessity. Its like these tools take over our lives on how we do things. For example farmers would do everything by hand now they have new technology to help them its became a necessity to have these tools instead of just using them once in a while.
Men do face concerns about there bodies for example they are suppose to be these strong muscular guys that are cut. They dont really have to watch there weight like women but they have to appear to have muscles and be strong.Some men also have to worry about grey or loosing hair when they are older . These are just some of the things men have to worry about or face about there bodies.

"This is what he means when he says this because its not a tool anymore when its something we depend on its a necessity"--this is a really great way to put it. I really like how you summarized Pollan's meaning.
