|
By: Michael Pollan
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)
December 29, 2009
This book/pamphlet is a great summary of points Michael Pollan makes in his previous books. For the most part it has one piece of advice per page, sometimes with a an explanation of the reasoning when necessary. It's perfect for people who need dietary advice, and who don't have time to read an entire book--or for people who need quick clarifications, or reminders, of the advice Pollan gives in his... more

| 3. In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto |
|
By: Michael Pollan
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)
April 28, 2009
Having enjoyed Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, I looked forward to reading In Defense of Food, but was ultimately disappointed. The bulk of the book is a florid history of nutritional science's focus on isolated nutrients--nutritionalism--and how the food manufacturing industry takes advantage of scientific findings in both the development and marketing of their products... more

For me, there is no greater praise for a book. I'm 3/4 through the book now, and already, it has challenged my views on food, farming, markets, and the US. And I kinda want to be a "grass farmer."... more

|
By: T. Colin Campbell, Thomas M. Campbell II
Publisher: Benbella Books

After reading "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes, I thought I would investigate this book which purports the exact opposite of Taubes findings. "The China Study" was obviously written by a scientist who has his opinions and wants them to be right no matter what the outcomes of his cited study. As a masters in nutrition student, it has been drilled into my head that you have to go with the... more

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 1 1/2 years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy with few problems. Then what? You wait and see if it comes back. The oncologist said there was nothing I could do to increase the chances of remaining cancer-free. Well, not so! This book does a wonderful job of laying out the evidence base for all the suggestions made. The language is clear and... more
