Eat well, enrich life: In Defence of Food

In Defence of Food is an eye-opening, thought-provoking exploration of what we eat, how it impacts our health, and why we should pay more attention to the food we put in our bodies. Pollan's simple yet powerful message to "eat food, not too much, mostly plants" gets to the heart of the matter. His insightful analysis of the food industry, media, and science helps readers understand how we have become so confused about what to eat. Ultimately, In Defence of Food encourages readers to take control of their diets and make thoughtful food choices that will nourish both body and soul.

Description

[image] Michael Pollan's last book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, launched a national conversation about the American way of eating; now In Defense of Food shows us how to change it, one meal at a time. Pollan proposes a new answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. Pollan's bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy, and bring pleasure back to eating.,,,
