Can you give a synopsis of the book? From reading the label wrapped around the lettuce, it seems like one should eat less meat and more veggie?

I picked up Muay Thai Unleashed tonight from Barnes And Noble. Should be done in 2 weeks tops. I still haven't finish the essays of Warren Buffet, I lostinterest half way through with that one.

Yeah pretty much that phrase, Eat Food, Not Too Much, Mostly Plants is the book if you will in a nut shell, the beginning of the book goes into his reasoningfor his advice and in the second part of the book is his advice.

Pollan brings up the point of the idea of "nutritionism" for his reasoning and how we focus just on the nutrients in the food instead of the wholecomplex system the food is (like focousing in on the beta-carotene in carrots) which leads to products like vitamin water or how we end up getting Omega 3-s incookies. When we take the nutrients out of the food they naturally occur in, they sometimes don't work at all and can actually cause harm to us. Also onhow the food industry is then able to use this "nutritionism" as a marketing tool which allows them to make unhealthy food seem healthy like wholewheat poptarts.

Then some of his advice is like don't fill up where your car fills up, don't eat anything you can't pronounce, contains something you don'tknow or of couse has high fructose corn syrup in it, Also eat wild foods like for meat (Venison, Elk, Buffalo, grass fed beef and chicken), Shop the outer partof the grocery store or even avoid the stroe and go to your local farmer's market, Eat Meals instead of snacks, Eat at the kitchen table and avoid doingsomething else while eating like watching television or being on the internet.

Those are just some of the main points for his reasoning and advice, It really is the best book for nutrition I believe,also really recomend almost readingOmnivores Dilema first and then reading In Defense Of Food if you do decide to pick it up. I'm studying to become a dietittian and I really agree with mostof his logic in the book.
