Green Challenge giveaway: In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan
Join the Green Challenge every month and make one small change to help the environment. Keep us posted on your progress throughout the month and keep an eye out for spectacular giveaways.
Michael Pollan's new book, In Defense of Food hit the shelves this earlier this year and here's your chance to win your very own copy! You might recognize the author's name from The Omnivore's Dilemma, a successful look at the path food travels to get to the table.
In Defense of Food takes a deeper look into how America eats (in the car, in front of the television) and what our diet consists of (high fructose corn syrup). Pollan tries to answer what he calls the American paradox: the fact that as we get more health obsessed, we are becoming unhealthier as a nation. Because of science and marketing, old fashioned food needs defending from the food industry itself.
In order to lead a healthy lifestyle, Pollan says this: Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. Easy enough.
Upon learning of this month's locavore challenge, The Penguin Press generously sent us a copy of this fine book to give away.
Good luck!
