I haven't read Pollan's famous The Omnivore's Dilemma, but this is a plea to return to good, real food, written by an eminently sensible man. He examines how - certainly in the US, increasingly in Europe - we now eat "edible foodlike substances" products of science rather than nature. This isn't a foody book, just an intelligent one. Good advice: never buy a product with more than three ingredients or one that contains words you can't recognise.
