In Defense of Food: Author, Journalist Michael Pollan on
Nutrition, Food Science and the American Diet

Acclaimed author and journalist Michael Pollan argues that
what most Americans are consuming today is not food but
³edible food-like substances.² His previous book, The
Omnivore¹s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, was
named one of the ten best books of 2006 by the New York
Times and the Washington Post. His latest book, just
published, is called In Defense of Food: An Eater¹s
Manifesto.

i dunno... i'd argue with the edible part. "food-like"
certainly covers most prepackaged stuff though.
i wonder though, do the people who *should* read these books
actually read them, or are the readers those who already know
that American prepackaged food is crap read them & just feel
smug? is he reaching the proper audience, or just preaching to
the choir?

Like the man said,"The proof is in the pudding." If your not willing to
try it, I guess you'll never know and, just have to go on wondering.
