In Defense of Food
January 21, 2009
Starting last week I’ve been trying to set aside at least a half-hour to reading, It’s been great so far. The book I’ve been reading is called “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollan.
An eater’s manifesto as the author claims, that builds on historic events about food and food politics, terms such as Nutritionism are cited, an ideology that assumes that the nutritional value in food can only be determined by the nutrients find by food scientists and how this ideology has actually worked backwards, health-wise.
I’m not going to talk more about this book because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, even when the author pretty much gives you a recap of the book in the introduction.
