In Defense of Food
by Michael Pollan
Pollan takes the science of food and shows where it’s been misapplied. So there’s been a lot of science around nutrition that is very bad science. It’s the opposite of the Leibniz thing; it’s effectively mysticism cased in the veneer of scientific work. Pollan takes a very pragmatic view, which he sums up in one sentence: ‘Eat food, not too much, mostly plants’.
