I read this book very quickly and found it much more accessible than Omnivore's Dilemma, which I'm still trying to finish. While Pollan offers specific rules to follow, he is mostly trying to educate people about food--specifically processed food--so we really think about what we are eating.

Another excellent and thought-provoking book from Pollan on the state of our food supply and our Western diet --and what can be done by us as individuals to address the situation. This book has prescriptions for what what to eat, how much and with whom. I thought it got a bit preachy, but didn't cross the line so that I felt talked down to. I also liked that he didn't "dis" those of us who enjoy meat --though he does say (and I agree with him) that we should eat much less of it and it should be, in the case of beef, for example, grass-fed which is better for the cow, for the environment and for our own health. A very good read. I highly recommend it.
Eat Food, not too much, mostly plants. Pollan presents a compelling argument against our industrialized food. Hits the mark with his discussion how we're eating more because our western diet od processed foods lacks nutrients. His discussion of nutritionism makes a lot of sense in that it's not based on good science. An excellent book. I need to get my own copy for the bookshelf.

This book was released when I was in college and it was perfect for someone who was in the process of independence from the family home, being in sole control of their diet, understanding their relationship to food as a grown/mature human, and how to find the actual food in the super market. Aside from being a good read, this book was perfect timed for me.
C'était pas mal hot et vaguement effrayant. Ça colligeait beaucoup d'information de façon à la fois super documentée, scientifiquement intéressante et digeste à la fois. Ça m'a rappelé (en partie) pourquoi je trouvais important d'avoir des paniers bios/accès à des légumes bio+locaux, ce qui m'a fait me réabonner aux paniers d'hiver que j'avais abandonnés après avoir été complètement écoeurée du daïkon il y a 2 ou 3 ans.
It is very interesting learning about how the Western diet came to be the way it is now.
