Have you Already Read In Defense of Food?

From the lens In Defense Of Food.

Please leave your honest personal review of Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food here.

  • Bookworm25 Sep 7, 2011 @ 6:30 am | delete
    I have yet to read it but everything on this page rings true. In todays lifestyle we can not all be perfect and grow our own veggies, though I do, and bake our own bread, which I don't! However it's about the small changes, enjoying what your food looks like, different varieties and colour.

    I shop at the butchers and veg shops and find that I spend no more than other people as I don't buy the other stuff! I love making cakes and stuff and although this is processed I know exactly what has gone into it!

    Great lens.

    Michael Pollan just has common sense. So many of our Western ills could be solved by eating more "real food." This book was good, but I liked The Omnivore's Dilemma even better.
  • LotusPetalYoga Jan 21, 2010 @ 9:59 am | delete
    I loved this book and also the Omnivores Dilema. The advice is simple and yet has profound effect. BIllions of lives could be saved and endless suffering eliminated if people simply ate a whole plant based diet and eliminated the processed crap.

    Those burgers look so juicy on TV, but so do crisp fresh fruits & veggies -we just don't see a lot of those :( Hey, where's fruit & veggies pics above the quiz? Great lens, I'll have to check out the book!
  • MysticTurtle Oct 13, 2009 @ 4:57 pm | delete
    Loved the book. I don't know why someone has to write a book to tell us what we should have known all along!
  • kiwisoutback Jun 8, 2009 @ 2:54 pm | delete
    I read this book over my vacation a couple of weeks ago. After reading it, I realized that so much of the food I'm eating isn't food. It's "food stuff" as he put it, even the meat. I've been trying to make more of an effort to hit local produce stands and avoid vegetable oil based products since reading it. It's a great book! Squid Angel blessed, you've done it justice.
  • Treasures-By-Brenda Apr 14, 2009 @ 6:01 pm | delete
    I haven't read the book but I did read your lens and you have sure peeked my interest. I've added a link to your review on my Baby Carrots: When Is A Carrot Not A Carrot lens and I'm blessing In Defense of Food. Nicely done!

    I love a good salad, but sometimes I'm in too much of a hurry. "I have too much on my plate."
    Thanks for sharing

    I visited this lens a long time ago when I first read the book. I am glad that I am now able to return to give it an Angel Blessing. A great lens about such an important book.
  • papawu Oct 8, 2008 @ 10:54 pm | delete
    I have passed by this book in the library or store on a number of occasions. The title has caught my attention and I have picked it up before, but have always put it back for something that grabbed more of my interest. I guess I'm actually going to have to read it now! Great lens.
  • WritingforYourWealth Oct 5, 2008 @ 5:20 pm | delete
    I haven't read it yet but may have to check it out. I did read Fast Food Nation, and that one was interesting (in a scary way, heh heh).
  • thrivingmom Sep 22, 2008 @ 1:23 pm | delete
    This is a great lens and I have featured it as an example on my new lens about the various Squidoo templates. Please come by and take a look.

    My wife bought In Defense of Food and insisted that I read it. I am glad that I did as it made so much sense and it is such a basic concept that it is actually easy to introduce into your eating habits.

    Great lens on dieting, I was able to get quite a bit out of it. I'm mostly interested in a good Candida Free Diet, but they are also good for weight loss.

    I have to be honest and say that not only have I not read it, I have never heard of it, or the author. I loved this lens though and the overall message it conveys and will try to find the time to get a hold of it and read it. Have lensrolled this to all my healthy eating lenses. Great job!
