Reviewer: girlygirl
The information in this book is common sense that in the back of your mind you always knew was true, but seeing it all in one place and written in this style, makes it stick. I find the little sayings easy to remember and applicable to my every day life. I haven't eaten white bread or anything in celophane since I read the book :) and my blood pressure has decreased.

Reviewer: Teresa M. Johnsono
This book was a nice book to read but was not as educational as I thought it was going to be. It was more of old wives tales then anything I could actually use in real life.

Reviewer: Elizabeth Anne
If you eat, then read anything and everything by Michael Pollan. He is not only informative, he is amusing and lighthearted as well, never condescending, fair and curious. But if you don't have time to read everything, then read this one breeze-through book. In fact, keep it near you. Give it to everyone you know. And the most important point of all: DO the things he so wisely suggests. For yourself, for your children and grandchildren, for the planet.
Classic Pollan, Digest Size

Reviewer: Aunt Maggie
Love, love Michael Pollan, but what I especially love about this book, is that it takes his nutritional wisdom off the top shelf and puts it at eye level for the masses. Jam packed and nutrient dense. Highly recommended.

If you want to know how to eat, in this book Michael Pollan expands on his mantra- "Eat food. not too much. Mostly Plants. A guide to eating actual food in today's world. Very simple but very informative.
