Food. There’s plenty of it around, and of course you like to consume it. Why should anyone need to defend it?

Because in the so-called Traditional western diet, food continues to be replaced by nutrition, and good sense by confusion–most of what we’re eating today is longer the product of character but of food science. The effect is exactly what Michael Pollan telephone calls the American Paradox: The more we worry about In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto about nutrition, the less healthful we see to become. With In Defense of Food, Pollan proposes a fresh (and incredibly old) response to the issue of what we should eat that comes down to seven basic but liberating words: ‘Eat food. Not an excessive amount of. Mostly plant life.’ Pollan’s bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how exactly we can start producing thoughtful food options which will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what this means to be healthy, and bring pleasure back to consuming.
