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.

评分作者带来的信息很mind blowing,他坚持的食物上的文化观点也是很cherishable——我们可以回归原始,让一家人其乐融融回到餐桌前一边交流一边享用食物。但是也有描述属于纯乌托邦式梦想——让人们都回去吃有机蔬菜?杜绝非有机食物?这种生活太过高端了,要普众的话没有可持续性
评分"Eat FOOD; Not too much; Mostly plants." 作者虽然是记者而非学者,但本书还是很有道理的,提观点,摆事实,颠覆了我不少关于食物和进食习惯的看法,好书。
评分食物营养进化: where is the food in our food?
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...
评分第一次读Pollan的书是因为机缘巧合,《植物的欲望》,一本很有启发的人与自然。后来就一直缱绻在这本 In Defense of Food 上,直到昨天才了结。 很经典的际遇是,并没有先锋的科学和超前的理论企图要挟我们。因为回归自然的呼声确实屡次在内心此起彼伏,往往只是苦于、或困于眼...
评分 评分本周读物:《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...
评分饮食的态度,之前因为在减脂健身,所以看了很多关于饮食营养方面的书,所以之后对食物,很多时候都是将它分为脂肪,蛋白质,碳水化合物等各种来看,也变得比较关注营养成分的标签。这本书里面有一个问题也是我之前想过的,如果天然食物和加工食品他们在营养成分上看相差不大,...
