La botanica del desiderio. Il mondo visto dalle piante di Michael Pollan

Libro affascinante che mescola notizie botaniche, storiche, ed esperienze personali dell'autore su tre piante che si sono coevolute insieme al genere umano: il tulipano, la patata e la cannabis.
Il filo conduttore del libro è se siamo stati noi umani a selezionare le piante da addomesticare o se, al contrario, sono state le piante che, scegliendo come strategia evolutiva il soddisfacimento dei desideri umani, si sono assicurate la collaborazione del più attivo propagatore di semi di tutto il pianeta.… (altro)

In difesa del cibo

Forse pretendo troppo ma tutti i capitoli di questo libro sono estremamente importanti e meritano un'attenta lettura.
Dopo aver letto "Il dilemma dell'onnivoro" questo testo mi ha ancora di più interessato.
In un'epoca dove imperversano dietologi e scienziati della nutrizione con indicazioni spesso contraddittorie, Pollan esprime un suo punto di vista di estremo buon senso, da dati verificabili.
Cercherò di metterlo in pratica nel mio quotidiano approccio al cibo!
