Why do we only see calcium when we look at a glass of milk? Why do we see only Omega 3 in sardines, and their antioxidants in fruits? Because we live in the age of nutrition science. And yet... After tradition gave way to science and marketing, we are not healthier. On the contrary, rather.
Instead of consuming foods rich in natural substances, we consume 'edible substances that resemble food' produced by technology. The so-called Western diet replaced foods with nutrients, and common sense with complete confusion. And this led to something completely paradoxical yet absolutely true: the more we give in to various dietary theories, the less healthy we become.
Michael Pollan deconstructs one by one the myths of dogmatic nutritionists with scientific arguments. And he concludes with a very good insight: we can eat normally and be healthy, as long as we consume wisely. He proposes a completely different way of eating, based on tradition and ecology, through which we can escape the Western diet and, consequently, from most chronic diseases it causes.
Advice such as 'don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food,' 'avoid those foods that their manufacturers claim are healthy,' and 'get out of the supermarket as soon as possible' make up Michael Pollan's fresh, clear, simple, often humorous but absolutely serious manifesto.
