Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. Seven simple words to transform the way you nourish yourself.
What is In Defense of Food?
In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto is Michael Pollan’s celebrated guide to cutting through nutrition confusion. He gently questions our focus on single nutrients and processed “food-like substances” and invites us back to real, whole food, summed up in his famous advice: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

Pollan is a graceful, witty writer, and his simple rules of thumb are easy to remember at the grocery store. It is a short, freeing book that makes eating well feel joyful instead of complicated.
