Book Review: In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan

Anybody who knows me knows that I do eat a very healthy diet. This book is basically about eating foods that are whole. The simple premise is that many of the foods that are eating today are manufactured in a way that the body doesn't recognize or absorb them.

One of the Arguments Michael makes is don't eat food that you gammy wouldn't recognize. I don't agree with this totally. I eat quite a bit of tofu. If would say if they didn't eat it one hundred years ago then your not supposed to be eating it now. He also despises vitamins. I agree get these from eating foods as they come. This is a really good book and the author does a good job of avoiding the pulpit.
