In Defense of Food, by Michael Pollan

Great book; quick to read; great follow up to The Omnivore’s Dilemma. To quote Pollan: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” That’s mostly what the book is about — it’s a critique of nutritionism and the way that we eat so much processed food today. Has had a profound impact on the way I think about the food that I eat — in the category of things I probably already knew but hadn’t read together like this — and is slowly having that same impact on the food that I actually do eat. Great book.
