In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
#1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of How to Change Your Mind, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Food RulesFood. There's plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it?Because in the socalled Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusionmost of what were consuming today is longer the product of nature but of food science. The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American Paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we see to become. With In Defense of Food, Pollan proposes a new (and very old) 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.' Pollans 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.
