In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
by Michael Pollan
Michael Pollan distills a sane philosophy of eating into seven words: eat food, not too much, mostly plants. In Defense of Food spends its pages earning that deceptively simple advice, and demolishing the nutrition industry that obscured it.
The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
by Michael Pollan
Michael Pollan asks the simplest possible question, what should we have for dinner, and follows it all the way back to the soil. The Omnivore's Dilemma is the book that taught a generation to think about where food actually comes from.
