In Defense of Food

This morning I went out and took stock of my growing vegetable garden. Snap peas are thriving, tomatoes are slowing growing and have some flowers, green beans just popped up, lettuce doing well. After I finished reading this important book, I peeled a tangelo from our tree and ate it with the juice running down my face. This is what is real food, and what Michael Pollan writes about in his In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto.

I will hypothesize that this will be the most important book I read this year. How I will actually put everything into practice may take the rest of the year, but I am convinced that I want to eat real food, and not some food product with many unpronounceable "ingredients" which actually have very little nutritional value. My garden and our fruit trees are a start!
