An Eater's Manifesto
BY MICHAEL POLLAN "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." Are the seven simple but liberating words that Michael Pollan uses to answer the question "What should I eat?" - With all the problems of ecology, climate change, profiteering, international food injustice and pollution preying on our minds. He shows how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy, and bring pleasure back to eating.

A Natural History Of Four Meals
BY MICHAEL POLLAN This book has three parts, one for each of the food chains that sustain us: industrialized food, organic food, and food people grow or hunt themselves. Pollan follows the food chain literally from the ground up to the table, & concludes each section by sitting down to a meal--at McDonald's, at home with his family sharing a dinner from Whole Foods, and in a revolutionary farm in Virginia. He traces the provenance of everything consumed, revealing the hidden components we unwittingly ingest and explaining how our taste for particular foods reflects our environmental and biological inheritance.

The Secrets Behind What You Eat
BY MICHAEL POLLAN A version of Pollans classic work on how our food gets to us, what is in it, and how it is grown. Among his detective work he tracks animals and plants through the system. Very good value, with a new introduction and a Q & A section with the author, AND the text is divided up into bite sized segments with illustrations, fact boxes and explanatory diagrams. I think this is even better than the "adult" version.
