In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan

4.0

---

This is best read as a sequel to Omnivore's Dilemma, touching on, and expanding on, some ideas that he began discussing in Dilemma. In this very engaging book, mixing his very well-researched writing with his very readable style, he investigates what "food" is, and how our concept of food has changed over the decades, and how that has effected ourselves and our health - and society as a whole.

A thoughtful and engaging book that is worth reading for anyone interested in health, nutrition, or food.
