5.0
If you're looking for Michael Pollan's thoughtful research on food, grab [b:In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto|315425|In Defense of Food An Eater's Manifesto|Michael Pollan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442538739l/315425._SY75_.jpg|3100234] or [b:The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals|3109|The Omnivore's Dilemma A Natural History of Four Meals|Michael Pollan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1393804353l/3109._SY75_.jpg|3287769]. Both of those books are filled with the details of his quest to learn about food in Western culture.
This short book can easily be read in one sitting, and breaks up the wisdom of Pollan's thesis statement (Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.) into the book's three sections: What should I eat?, What kind of of food should I eat?, and How should I eat?
Read this book if you're looking for inspiration to stay the course with nutritional goals. That's the benefit I see from these pages. I've read In Defense of Food and I'm sold on how I should be eating. This book gave me a kick in the butt to start adding more veggies to my plate again.
The wisdom is quick and intentionally repetitive. Pollan tells the reader that while a few of the sayings may be stickier for some, others may find different sayings sticky, so grab what boosts you can.
