Description
Hailed as the “patron saint of farmers’ markets” and one of the “great food activists,” Nina Planck is single-handedly changing the way we view real food. A vital and original contribution to the hot deviate about what to eat and why, Real Food is a thoroughly researched rebuttal to dietary fads and a clarion call for the return to old-fashioned foods.
In lively, personal chapters on produce, dairy, meat, fish, chocolate, and other real foods, Planck explains how ancient foods like beef and butter have been falsely accused, while industrial foods like corn syrup and soybean oil have created a triple epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
