In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan 2008

Condition: Very Good - Has an inscription front fore page

In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto, Michael Pollan calls the Western diet the American Paradox: the more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we seem to become. In Defense of Food, Pollan proposes a new (and very old) answer to what we should eat.  It comes down to seven simple but liberating words: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." Pollan’s bracing and eloquent manifesto show us how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, and enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy.
