内容简介
Michael Pollan's lastbook , The Omnivore's Dilemma, launched a national conversation about the American way of eating; now In Defense of Food shows us how to change it, one meal at a time. Pollan proposes a new answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. Pollan's bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy, and bring pleasure back to eating.
作者在此书中探索了所谓“营养学”与西方社会饮食习惯的关系,其焦点在于二十世纪末期科学界所提供的饮食建议。普兰认为膳食脂肪和胆固醇的摄取并不会导致更频繁的冠状动脉疾病,而且将食物分解为其最基本元素而进行分析是一种有缺陷的分析模式。他质疑那种认为饮食仅仅为了健康的观点,并指出这种态度并不普遍而且生活在那些将食物理解为乐趣,个性与社会性的文化中的人很可能更为健康。书中很大篇幅都在阐述以下三句话的含义:“吃食物。不要太多。植物为主”。作者争辩道美国人在超级市场、速食店及餐馆中购买的实际上不是食物,一个又好又实用的建议是只吃那些自己祖母那一代人认为是食物的东西。
