Product Information
#1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of How to Change Your Mind, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Food Rules Food. There's plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it? Because in the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion--most of what we're consuming today is longer the product of nature but of food science.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." 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.

Reviews
"Michael Pollan [is the] designated repository for the nation's food conscience."---Frank Bruni, The New York Times "A remarkable volume . . . engrossing . . . [Pollan] offers those prescriptions Americans so desperately crave."-- The Washington Post "A tough, witty, cogent rebuttal to the proposition that food can be redced to its nutritional components without the loss of something essential... [a] lively, invaluable book."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times " In Defense of Food is written with Pollan's customary bite, ringing clarity and brilliance at connecting the dots."-- The Seattle Times, "In his hugely influential treatise The Omnivore's Dilemma , Pollan traced a direct line between the industrialization of our food supply and the degradation of the environment. His new book takes up where the previous work left off. Examining the question of what to eat from the perspective of health, this powerfully argued, thoroughly researched and elegant manifesto cuts straight to the chase with a maxim that is deceptively simple: "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." But as Pollan explains, "food" in a country that is driven by "a thirty-two billion-dollar marketing machine" is both a loaded term and, in its purest sense, a holy grail. The first section of his three-part essay refutes the authority of the diet bullies, pointing up the confluence of interests among manufacturers of processed foods, marketers and nutritional scientists-a cabal whose nutritional advice has given rise to "a notably unhealthy preoccupation with nutrition and diet and the idea of eating healthily." The second portion vivisects the Western diet, questioning, among other sacred cows, the idea that dietary fat leads to chronic illness. A writer of great subtlety, Pollan doesn't preach to the choir; in fact, rarely does he preach at all, preferring to lets the facts speak for themselves.

[a] lively, invaluable book." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "What should I eat for dinner tonight? Here is Pollan's brilliant, succinct and nuanced answer to this question: 'Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.'" -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette " In Defense of Food is written with Pollan's customary bite, ringing clarity and brilliance at connecting the dots." -- The Seattle Times "This is an important book, short but pithy, and, like the word 'food,' not simple at all." --New York Post "With his lucid style and innovative research, Pollan deserves his reputation as one of the most respectable voices in the modern debate about food." --The Financial Times, " "Michael Pollan [is the] designated repository for the nation's food conscience." --Frank Bruni, The New York Times "In this slim, remarkable volume, Pollan builds a convincing case not only against that steak dinner but against the entire Western diet." -- The Washington Post "A tough, witty, cogent rebuttal to the proposition that food can be reduced to its nutritional components without the loss of something essential...
