In Defense of Food

In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto by Michael Pollan

This book could change the way you eat- or at least think twice before you pop open that next tube of GoGurt. Pollan lloks at the Western diet and our obsession with “nutritionism”- and why the food industry pushes nutrient specific foods yet we’re all so unhealthy. He gives guidance on how to eat simply “Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants.” and elaborately nicely on how to do so, with some simple tips. While the book may come off a little preachy and one-sided for those not ready to admit they could/should be eating better, it’s a well-thought treatise for those who want to improve their diets.
