  In Defense of Food
 
Are you frustrated by conflicting nutrition research and looking for a simple way to help your clients eat better? Are you wondering about the influence of food marketing and politics on our food supply? This eye-opening book is for you. Michael Pollan is a master at presenting diverse data on food history, culture, politics and research and weaving it into a simple, easy-to-understand approach to eating well. You'll learn:
  • what the American Paradox is, and how to combat it
  • how the Nutrition Industrialized Complex has transformed our food supply, without anyone really noticing
  • how 'nutritionalism' has led us to focus on nutrients, rather than food, with devastating results 
This fascinating book will leave you captivated till the end.  You'll walk away with a much broader perspective on why we eat the way we do, with simple, effective ways to help your clients eat better to improve their health.
