评分今天上课,班里的美国朋友推荐我读的 她正好要去图书馆还这本书,我就正好去图书馆借过来 写的非常棒 让我重新审视自己的饮食了.
评分同意论点,完全不同意论据和辩论方式。 的确如作者所说,现在营养学的研究有很多弊端。他攻击的几种,比如over simplification, failure to address confounder的确是主流研究里面非常常见的。 但是啊,他用来当作证据的内容,suffers from exactly the same fallacy in desi...
评分这书的问题在于两处,第一,如果和作者在饮食方面的想法或者说认识一致,那么这本书就显得篇幅过长(虽然也只有230页这么少,但还是啰嗦了);第二,如果对作者的观点不认同,估计也不会把这本书读下去。回过头来说书的内容,如果你想知道怎么吃,请直接读最后一章即可,如果你...

What to eat, what not to eat, and how to think about health: a manifesto for our times
"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." These simple words go to the heart of Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food, the well-considered answers he provides to the questions posed in the bestselling The Omnivore's Dilemma.
Humans used to know how to eat well, Pollan argues. But the balanced dietary lessons that were once passed down through generations have been confused, complicated, and distorted by food industry marketers, nutritional scientists, and journalists-all of whom have much to gain from our dietary confusion. As a result, we face today a complex culinary landscape dense with bad advice and foods that are not "real." These "edible foodlike substances" are often packaged with labels bearing health claims that are typically false or misleading. Indeed, real food is fast disappearing from the marketplace, to be replaced by "nutrients," and plain old eating by an obsession with nutrition that is, paradoxically, ruining our health, not to mention our meals. Michael Pollan's sensible and decidedly counterintuitive advice is: "Don't eat anything that your great-great grandmother would not recognize as food."
Writing In Defense of Food, and affirming the joy of eating, Pollan suggests that if we would pay more for better, well-grown food, but buy less of it, we'll benefit ourselves, our communities, and the environment at large. Taking a clear-eyed look at what science does and does not know about the links between diet and health, he proposes a new way to think about the question of what to eat that is informed by ecology and tradition rather than by the prevailing nutrient-by-nutrient approach.
In Defense of Food reminds us that, despite the daunting dietary landscape Americans confront in the modern supermarket, the solutions to the current omnivore's dilemma can be found all around us.
In looking toward traditional diets the world over, as well as the foods our families-and regions-historically enjoyed, we can recover a more balanced, reasonable, and pleasurable approach to food. Michael Pollan's bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we might start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives and enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy.
原来企鹅推荐的也有这么不靠谱的啊(摊手)
