Understanding An Eater's Manifesto

I can honestly say, that reading all the Michael Pollan books as of late, have really helped change the way I approach nutrition, health, wellness, and sustainable eating. While he does not necessarily promote veganism, vegetarianism or even organic over conventional eating habits, he promotes being informed. In that aspect his books have been highly motivating, highly informative and have honestly changed my approach to how I choose to consume food products. Hopping on the organic food bandwagon has been the best thing for Holly and I. Granted it's more expensive, but we are being more thoughtful about the things we choose to consume. We still eat meat, but less often and only consume high quality sustainably raised types of meat. We also try to eat local food as often as possible. All these changes have helped tremendously with my lifestyle changes in becoming more lean, more athletic and dropping the weight so I can live a long, healthy and productive life. In all actuality, his books changed my thinking to actually do something about it. To be a conscious eater and to be a "localvore" as much as possible. Not only is it good for me, it's good for my community and local farmers. I would recommend this book to anyone to ready. I finally understand for the first time in my life, that we as humans truly are what we eat. Quality input does in fact equal quality long term output. The entire processed industry that exists in this country is extremely bothersome to me now and is creating a pandemic of health problems for many Americans. We can change this by being very thoughtful about what we eat.
