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.

The second meal points out the flaws in “big organic”. The third is sourced from locally grown and produced food. He hunts and forages for the fourth meal.
