MICHAEL POLLAN explores the question he heard most often from readers of his last book, The Omnivore鈥檚 Dilemma: what should we eat? The answer is no mystery and certainly not complicated. Indeed, Pollan sums up his core message in seven words: 鈥淓at food, not too much, mostly plants.鈥� If you鈥檙e wondering how pseudo-science supplanted the food wisdom of our elders, or you鈥檙e nonplussed by the processed products that our great-grandmothers would never have recognised as food, then you鈥檒l find Pollan鈥檚 history of 鈥渘utritionism鈥�, as he calls it, fascinating.
