<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{BNR-table|scienticity=4|readability=5|hermeneutics=5|charisma=5|recommendation=5}}<br /> Michael Pollan, ''In Defense of Food : An Eater's Manifesto.'' New York : Penguin Press, 2008. 244 pages, with references and index.<br /> <br /> At only 200 pages, ''In Defense of Food'' gives a great overview of how to shop and what to eat. His premise is summed up several times: &quot;Eat Food, Not Too Much, Mostly Plants&quot;.<br /> <br /> The first part of the book is about nutritionism, or the idea that we can reduce foods down to their<br /> component nutrients and, if we could just find out which ones we need in what ratios, that would solve our diet-based health problems.<br /> <br /> The second section deals with the problems in the Western diet and how food trends (moving from quality to a focus on quantity, moving from whole foods to refined versions) that most benefit industry hurt<br /> human beings. <br /> <br /> In the third part he breaks down his solution further with various ideas, some of which are: buy whole foods, shop on the edges of the supermarket, go to farmer's market, if grandma couldn't buy it we probably shouldn't either, slow down, don't eat alone.<br /> <br /> While I don't know if anyone could always follow all the suggestions all the time, he makes a strong case for them. Highly recommended.<br /> <br /> {{Notesby|MKI}}<br /> <br /> [[Category: Book Notes]]</div>
