In Defense of Food

by Michael Pollan

First published 2008

Tired of conflicting diet advice and food industry propaganda? Bestselling author Michael Pollan serves up a simple, revolutionary solution: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. Drawing on the latest scientific research and our grandparents' wisdom, Pollan unpacks how modern industrialized food has become increasingly divorced from nutrition, and how we can take back control of our health and our palates. With clear-eyed analysis and a dash of wry humor, he reveals the shocking ways corporations have manipulated our eating habits - and shows us how to cook, shop, and think our way to a more nourishing, sustainable future.
