Book Description:

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. These simple words go to the heart of Michael Pollan's well-considered answers to the questions posed in his bestseller 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, nutritionists, and journalists who, all have something to gain.
