Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants.
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008Journalist Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food along with four previous books, spoke at Google last month as part of their Authors@Google series. The video of his talk is up on YouTube and it’s incredible.
So compelling (and practical) was his talk that I rushed out to purchase his book immediately and it’s been worth every penny. In a world that has constantly conflicting scientific reports on nutrition, a government that issues shifting guidelines oftentimes in response to politics rather than data, and supermarkets filled with food-like products rather than food, how are we to know what to eat? And why in the world would we even have to ask such a seemingly silly question?
Pollan addresses and answers these questions and more in his book while also giving us – in seven words no less – very practical advice on eating and staying healthy.
