Book: In Defense of Food

Purchase @ Amazon

Author Michael Pollan returns with his new book In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto. This book follows The Omnivore’s Dilemma and attempts to answer the question ‘OK, now what should I eat?’. Pollan’s simple answer: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
For some, this simple statement will seem obvious. But for most, it is an attack on the typical American diet. A few more of his simple rules: Avoid any processed food with a health claim. And don’t eat anything your grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.
Pollan, without being condescending, exposes many flaws in nutritional “science” of the last thirty years. This book is a combination of common sense and a result of Michael Pollan’s many years of research and experience. And guides the reader in making better decisions about what to eat.
