Michael Pollan's new book 'In Defense of Food - An Eater's Manifesto'

I love it.

This guy has a lot of good, truthful things to say.

This is rare in a country where the majority of nutrition information that we hear about has a corporate or political agenda and not based on whether it is truly healthy for us.

Here are a few of his points from his manifesto:

The Omnivore's Solution: A New Way to Eat In the New Year

1) Don't eat anything your grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.

2) Avoid foods containing ingredients you can't pronounce.

3) Don't eat anything that won't eventually rot.

4) Avoid food products that carry health claims.

5) Shop the peripheries of the supermarket; stay out of the middle.

6) Better yet, buy food somewhere else: the farmer's market or CSA.

7) Pay more, eat less.

8) Eat a wide diversity of species.

9) Eat food from animals that eat grass.

10) Cook and, if you can, grow some of your own food.
