Work detailsIn Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan (2008)
This was an interesting book, but I'm not sure how much new information I got from it. Books on food (what we should eat, how we should eat, how we should obtain the food we do eat) are plentiful right now, so I felt as though I had read this one before (in fact part of it was previously published as a New York Times magazine article). I did learn that skim milk includes powdered milk, though I don't know if that's true for all skim milk, even organic. A similar book is Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver, which I liked better, perhaps because it is more personal.

( ) sharwass | Apr 25, 2013 | where [book: fast food nation] was brilliant book, but a "downer" this one's an "upper," so to speak ... or a healthy antidote to [author: eric schlosser] lightningrod. that both are also so well-written make them all the more indispensable food for thought. [pun intended, sorry] (  ) nobodhi | Apr 8, 2013 | The now well-known catch phrase "eat food. mostly plants. not too much" doesn't really sum up this book, which also examines the history of nutrition science and the growth of "nutritionism", the focus on constituents of diet rather than a holistic study of diets. Pollan's previous book, "The Omnivore's Dilemma", changed the way I buy food; this book is changing not only my shopping habits but also the ways I prepare and eat food.
