"Eat food. Not to much. Mostly vegetables."

In Defense of Food, a good-for-you and good-for-earth eater's manifesto from food intellectual Michael Pollan who, last weekend in NYT's Sunday mag, recommended that we all grow some of our own food and, several weeks ago, said that rising grain prices aren't the worst thing because maybe, if we're lucky, people will eat fewer Cheeto's. (Or something like that)

Michael Pollan is a genius. This book followed his other bestseller: An Omnivore's Dilemma. "In Defense of Food" discusses America's obsession with nutrition when the answer to health really boils down to Pollan's simple mantra: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." It's a funny look at the American food industry that takes you up and down the aisles of processed foods (which isn't the whole food he is referring to in his mantra) promising different things. Definitely gives you a fresh look at the food and nutrition industry.

Michael Pollan investigates food yet again on thinking levels that are normally ignored by everyday people. Rethink food and rethink the environment your food comes from.
