Detailed item info

Synopsis
Journalist Michael Pollan's polemic on the inherent and extensive problems with Western food culture argues that people should "eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.," by documenting how the rise of nutritional science in the American food industry is actually the cause of high rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart conditions. Pollan eloquently discusses how the Western diet's focus on low-fat, processed foods filled with nutrients pulled from whole foods is the problem, not the solution. Detailing numerous scientific studies, the history of food production, and the food industries carefully played machinations, Pollan unrolls a plan for how Americans can save themselves from a future filled with vitamin-infused soda and processed diet foods.

Industry Reviews
"A writer of great subtlety, Pollan doesn't preach to the choir; in fact, rarely does he preach at all, preferring to let the facts speak for themselves."
(11/26/2007)

"[A] tough, witty, cogent rebuttal to the proposition that food can be reduced to its nutritional components without the loss of something essential...Other writers on food, from Barbara Kingsolver to Marion Nestle, have expressed the same alarm, but IN DEFENSE OF FOOD is an especially succinct and helpful summary."
(01/03/2008)
