In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan

Subtitle: An Eater's Manifesto; Eat Food, Not Too Much, Mostly Plants -- This was an eye opener on many levels.  We are constantly preached to as to what we should eat, take these vitamins, this food is better than that one.  There are many levels of people telling us this - scientists, government and occasionally food growers - and all of the perogatives are different.  Agendas and money are running how and what we eat.  In conjunction with reading this I also watched Food, Inc.  When you put these two things together it really makes you think about what you are putting into your body.  If something says it is a health food on the label, is it really healthy?  Because the meat says it is grass fed, what kind of grass and was it for their whole life?  The organic produce on the shelf in your grocery store, how long did it travel to get there?  I am truly looking at food differently and looking forward to growing more in my little green house!
