An interesting follow-up to The Omnivore's Dilemma - shorter and more practical in nature, so it made for an easy read. As someone who works with people with eating disorders I am all too aware of the dangers of fad diets and how confusing nutrition has become, and this type of approach is about the only "diet" advice I would endorse - eat food, not too much, mostly plants. It doesn't prescribe cutting out particular foods, and the 'not too much' part does not encourage restriction but rather mindful, ideally social eating where inner hunger cues guide portions, reminiscent of the intuitive eating movement that counteracts diet culture. It allows for veganism, vegetarianism, and omnivorous diets, but advocates that what meat you do eat, should you choose to, be raised with the health of the animal and the planet in mind, and limited in quantity. The most prescriptive part is the wholesale rejection of highly processed foods, and I personally would advocate flexibility here too - as a treat, there's nothing wrong with a slice of cake or some chips, even if they contain high fructose corn syrup or other "food-like" ingredients - just don't eat them all the time. However, overall, I love Michael Pollen's approach to food journalism, and this book should appeal both to those interested in healthy eating choices and those wanting to eat more in accordance with environmental sustainability.
