Michael Pollan’s recent bestseller The Omnivore’s Dilemma was named one of the ten best books of 2006 by the New York Times and the Washington Post. In his new book, In Defense of Food, Pollan offers well-considered answers to questions about what to eat-“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”-and how to think about health in our increasingly industrialized and nutritionally muddled world-“Don’t eat anything your great-great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.”
