description
What to eat, what not to eat, and how to think about health: a manifesto for our times 'Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.' These simple words go to the heart of Michael Pollan's 'In Defense of Food,' the well-considered answers he provides to the questions posed in the bestselling 'The Omnivore's Dilemma,' Humans used to know how to eat well, Pollan argues. But the balanced dietary lessons that were once passed down through generations have been confused, complicated, and distorted by food industry marketers, nutritional scientists, and journalists-all of whom have much to gain from our dietary confusion. As a result, we face today a complex culinary landscape dense with bad advice and foods that are not 'real.'
