In defense of food

There's plenty of it aroun and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it? What to eat, what not to eat, and how to think .

In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto is a 20book by journalist and activist Michael Pollan. It was number one on the New York Times Non-Fiction Best . In Defense of Food debunks the daily media barrage of conflicting claims about nutrition. Traveling the globe and exploring the supermarket aisles to illustrate .

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 . These words to live by from the award-winning author Michael. The food industry, along with a complicit congress, has destroyed our diet, reducing food to a list of nutrients.
