In Defense of Food


I'm reading a really good book about food (vs. nutrition).

"In Defense of Food"

Thought I'd post it in this forum, too, in case some of you don't go into the book-readin' section.

This book sounds like it’s right up my alley. I just requested it from the library.

Did someone say something???? Just got my copy in the mail today! I might find time to read it here in the next year or so. I'm scared of the "mostly plants" part of the credo, thats for sure...

Recently finished it. Great book man. It makes total sense from start to finish.

I've been reading a lot lately about phytonutrients. This book fit right in line with what I've read. There's just sooo much we don't know about how these things work together. You can't isolate them and expect the same benefits.

"Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food" - I liked that part.

I'm listening to Glen Beck's book, and though sometimes (not always) we agree, that man just bucks the living ish out of me. He is so NOT funny.

I think I'm starting In Defense of Food as soon as I'm done with this one.

Just finished this on my recent vacation. Fantastic read. I honestly dont understand why this country doesnt taking eating more seriously. The fact that we spend so little of our income on food is amazing to me, and generally the excuse is because good food costs more. Not in the long term, it doesnt. Not in terms of the environment it doesnt, not in terms of your overall budget it doesnt. CHange your priorities, make wholesome high quality food a top one, and everything else will fall into place. Fantastic book.

Might need to read this. Good food, if cooked at home, can be much more affordable (and tasty) than I ever thought. And it doesn't have to be hard to make or craptastic stuff that Rachel Ray makes.

I need to get back to it. I've been eating like crap lately and in a funk.

BTW, I was at a farmers market a couple of weeks ago and bought some local and natural flank steak...wow, what a difference. I just used some salt and pepper and threw it on the grill. Oh, man. Was it ever good.
