Book Recommendation

Quote from Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food: "As I write, the FDA has just signed off on a new health claim for Frito-Lay chips on the grounds that eating chips fried in polyunsaturated fats can help you reduce your consumption of saturated fats thereby conferring blessings on your cardiovascular system. So can a notorious junk food pass through the needle eye of nutritionist logic and come out the other side looking like a health food."

Reminds me of the Froot Loop box from yesterday's post. This book contains a different and thoughtful perspective on the meaning of nutrition and health food.
