Digest - Pollanation mania

by Ethicurean @ Thursday, January 3rd, 2008.

There’s a full crop of reviews of “In Defense of Food,” and an interview with Pollan about it on NPR. Here are the raves and the contrarians, movie-marquee style: “A tough, witty, cogent rebuttal to the proposition that food can be reduced to its nutritional components without the loss of something essential.” — New York Times”Pollan isn’t just asking us to consider changing the way we eat. He’s asking us to join a movement that’s “renovating our food system in the name of health’” — L.A. Times”If you read one book about food this year,” this should be it —The Portland Mercury”Pollan lays bare with impassioned but clear-eyed intelligence the sinister machinations of the contemporary American food industry” — New York Post”[The food movement] couldn’t pray for a better mouthpiece” — Plenty”Page for page, it contains more intellectual and moral nutrition than practically any other book I’m aware of.”
