What to eat, what not to eat, and how to think about health: a manifesto for our times

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." These simple words go to the heart of Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food, the well-considered answers he provides to the questions posed in the bestselling The Omnivore's Dilemma.

Humans used to know how to eat well, Pollan argues. But the balanced dietary lessons that were once passed down through generations have been confused, complicated, and distorted by food industry marketers, nutritional scientists, and journalists-all of whom have much to gain from our dietary confusion. As a result, we face today a complex culinary landscape dense with bad advice and foods that are not "real." These "edible foodlike substances" are often packaged with labels bearing health claims that are typically false or misleading. Indeed, real food is fast disappearing from the marketplace, to be replaced by "nutrients," and plain old eating by an obsession with nutrition that is, paradoxically, ruining our health, not to mention our meals. Michael Pollan's sensible and decidedly counterintuitive advice is: "Don't eat anything that your great-great grandmother would not recognize as food."

Writing In Defense of Food, and affirming the joy of eating, Pollan suggests that if we would pay more for better, well-grown food, but buy less of it, we'll benefit ourselves, our communities, and the environment at large. Taking a clear-eyed look at what science does and does not know about the links between diet and health, he proposes a new way to think about the question of what to eat that is informed by ecology and tradition rather than by the prevailing nutrient-by-nutrient approach.

In Defense of Food reminds us that, despite the daunting dietary landscape Americans confront in the modern supermarket, the solutions to the current omnivore's dilemma can be found all around us.

In looking toward traditional diets the world over, as well as the foods our families-and regions-historically enjoyed, we can recover a more balanced, reasonable, and pleasurable approach to food. Michael Pollan's bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we might start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives and enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy.

有一个朋友小A经常向我抱怨,她现在每天只吃一顿午饭,其他时候只吃水果,晚上还要去跑步,饿了就喝水,但还是“喝口水都会长胖”,我很好奇她中午吃什么,结果大吃一惊,火锅串串烤肉涮羊肉猪扒饭,好吧,敢情你是一次性把一天的饭吃完了,你如果不胖简直没天理了。 小A就属于...

本周读物:《为食物辩护》,讲营养学的神话以及应该如何“健康地吃”。其实全本书有点拖沓,想说的内容、大原则可以压缩到1/3容量。另外就是感觉该书是写给吃得过多过快过精细的美国胖子看的,某些内容还没到需要国人担忧的程度。个人评分3.5/5 作者主要建议撷选: 1. 要吃食物...

这书的问题在于两处,第一,如果和作者在饮食方面的想法或者说认识一致,那么这本书就显得篇幅过长(虽然也只有230页这么少,但还是啰嗦了);第二,如果对作者的观点不认同,估计也不会把这本书读下去。回过头来说书的内容,如果你想知道怎么吃,请直接读最后一章即可,如果你...

可以说是Whole30的古早广告。 Quick takeaway:如果食物包装上有五个以上你不认识不会念的成分就别买了
