What should we have for dinner? When you can eat just about anything nature (or the supermarket) has to offer, deciding what you should eat will inevitably stir anxiety, especially when some of the foods might shorten your life. Today, buffeted by one food fad after another, America is suffering from a national eating disorder. As the cornucopia of the modern American supermarket and fast food outlet confronts us with a bewildering and treacherous landscape, what's at stake becomes not only our own and our children's health, but the health of the environment that sustains life on earth. Pollan follows each of the food chains--industrial food, organic or alternative food, and food we forage ourselves--from the source to the final meal, always emphasizing our coevolutionary relationship with the handful of plant and animal species we depend on. The surprising answers Pollan offers have profound political, economic, psychological, and even moral implications for all of us.--From publisher description.… (mere)

    In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto af Michael Pollan (marzipanz, chrisharpe)
    chrisharpe: Less of a narrative than "The Omnivore's Dilemma", "In Defense of Food" is a succinct argument for considering what we eat, and includes potted advice for consumers who prefer a set of simple rules for eating. As the title suggests, this is perhaps the better analysis of the way the food industry affects the eater and what we can do about it.… (mere)

The book is divided into three types of meals: one industrial, one grass-based agricultural; one hunted/gathered. The sections on industrial and grass-based agricultural meals were fascinating, truly, and I really enjoyed them. By the time he got to the hunted/gathered meal, though, I felt that Pollan became a little wordy and repetitive. The last chapter redeemed him and made the whole section worth it, but I still wish that bit had been edited a little more extensively. Overall, a great read - one I would recommend! ( )

Life-changing. Totally. ( )

I did not like this book as much as I expected. The first section was almost unbearable - a long, depressing, science lesson about corn. The rest of the book was much better. I especially enjoyed the hunting/foraging section's vivid details and interesting discussion of animals rights. Basically the purpose of this book is to horrify and shame the American public, and in that regard it is pretty successful (it certainly worked on me). Is it a good read, though? Meh. ( )

If the saying you are what you eat is true, then according to this book,most Americans are pretty much screwed. ( )
  kevinkevbo | Jul 14, 2023 |
A nice, thorough look at the food chains we enjoy, but of which we are woefully unaware. While the overall thesis is poignant - we should make ourselves aware of the true cost of our food systems, as our culture's voluntary ignorance is taking a huge toll and is immoral, to say the least - the author's fascination with all things chemical makes sections seem like they belong in a culinary or chemistry textbook (especially true of the first section - corn). As such, the general reader might be put off by the textbook ramblings and fail to notice the gems of information hidden amongst the weeds of loquaciousness. For those interested in a deeper (and more balanced) dive into America's food industries than that provided by FAST FOOD NATION, this is highly recommended. ( )

But for Pollan, the final outcome is less important than the meal's journey from the soil to the plate. His supermeticulous reporting is the book's strength — you're not likely to get a better explanation of exactly where your food comes from.
