In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto

Summary(from the publisher:) 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.

Review: I've yet to read anything by Michael Pollan that I failed to appreciate. This book invites you to think about your diet and how Americans in general are making the wrong choices at every meal. "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
