In Defense of Food

In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan is a follow up to the also very well known The Omnivore's Dilemma.  I didn't find it quite as good/informative as Dilemma but it was a very good summary of the follies of nutritional science.  It has become ridiculous how many rules there are-  Don't eat after 7 pm.  Say no carbs.  Eat 1/3 of your daily calories at breakfast.  Oh, and don't forget your supposed to eat at least 4 more time today to keep that metabolism going.  It's refreshing to see someone just advocating eating, no, dining on food.  Not engineered food but real food that looks like it did when growing.  And that's it.  No prescribed meal times, food combinations, or rotating nutrients superstars for a day.  Overall a good read but not one that breaks a lot of new ground.
