Michael Pollan's 'In Defense of Food'

Captain_Tightpants

I just started reading this last night and I'm already halfway through it. I couldn't put it down.

So far it seems like a very convincing attack on nutritionism and also a sort of lament on the human tendency to lock too hard onto certain bits of data to the exclusion of all other possibilities, often with devastating results (see the trans-fats controversy).

It's brilliantly written and I'd go so far as to recommend it to everyone who eats anything - which if you're alive to read this post means you. :happy:

Just wondering what you folks think of it? (I know I'm late to the bandwagon on this one).
