"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." These simple words go to the heart of food journalist Pollan's thesis. Humans used to know how to eat well, he argues, but the balanced dietary lessons that were once passed down through generations have been confused and distorted by food industry marketers, nutritional scientists, and journalists. As a result, we face today a complex culinary landscape dense with bad advice and foods that are not "real." Indeed, plain old eating is being replaced by an obsession with nutrition that is, paradoxically, ruining our health, not to mention our meals. Pollan's advice is: "Don't eat anything that your great-great grandmother would not recognize as food." Looking at what science does and does not know about diet and health, he proposes a new way to think about what to eat, informed by ecology and tradition rather than by the nutrient-by-nutrient approach.--From publisher description.… (altro)
Thogek: Similar insights about food vs. industrialized food but from the point of view of a farmer working to preserve the "normal" in our food and its production.
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! ( )

…the "what to eat" question is somewhat more complicated for us than it is for, say, cows. Yet for most of human history, humans have navigated the question without expert advice. To guide us we had, instead, Culture, which, at least when it comes to food, is really just a fancy word for your mother.

The cook in the kitchen preparing a meal from plants and animals at the end of this shortest of food chains has a great many things to worry about, but "health" is simply not one of them, because it is given.
