Food and Nutrition Book Summaries.

In “Discovering the Truth about Food,” we examine the major work “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollan. Pollan argues persuasively that we should revert to consuming whole foods and avoid processed foods. In addition, he provides several dietary guidelines, such as “Eat Food, Not Too Much, Mostly Plants” and “Don’t consume anything your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.” We can enhance our health and well-being by employing a more mindful and balanced approach to nutrition.
