"A fun book that looks at why animals are people."--Back cover

'A must-read ... satisfying, rich ... loaded with flavour' Sunday Telegraph This book is a celebration of food. By food, Michael Pollan means real, proper, simple food - not the kind that comes in a packet, or has lists of unpronounceable ingredients, or that makes nutritional claims about how healthy it is. More like the kind of food your great-grandmother would recognize. In Defence of Food is a simple invitation to junk the science, ditch the diet and instead rediscover the joys of eating well. By following a few pieces of advice (Eat at a table - a desk doesn't count. Don't buy food where you'd buy your petrol!), you will enrich your life and your palate, and enlarge your sense of what it means to be healthy and happy. It's time to fall in love with food again. For the past twenty years, Michael Pollan has been writing about the places where the human and natural worlds intersect: food, agriculture, gardens, drugs, and architecture. His most recent book, about the ethics and ecology of eating, is The Omnivore's Dilemma, named one of the ten best books of 2006 by the New York Times and the Washington Post. He is also the author of The Botany of Desire, A Place of My Own and Second Nature.

The answers to healing your overeating habit have been within you all along. In fact, you might be surprised to learn that the drive you feel to overeat is actually your body’s way of trying to get your attention and let you know you are now, and always have been, entirely whole. (Surprise!) There is a revolution happening in our psychological awareness about how being human works. This new understanding points us away from focusing on what we believe is wrong with us and instead reminds us that we always have all that we need. It flips the way we think about ourselves and our lives on its head. Seeing life this way has the power to reverse our overeating habit and bring us the sense of peace we’ve been seeking via diets and weight loss. For 30+ years author Alexandra Amor read every self-help book and followed every different kind of diet plan she could find, only to fail, again and again. But in 2017 when she began to learn about the misunderstandings we hold about why we feel the drive to overeat, everything changed. In this intimate and compassionate book, Alexandra shares everything she’s learned about a new psychological paradigm that explains how by looking in a slightly different direction from the outdated will-power and deprivation model we can find lasting freedom from our overeating habits. It turns out that if, like Alexandra, you’ve tried everything to eliminate your drive to overeat and nothing has worked, you aren’t the problem. The problem is we’ve been looking in the wrong place for answers.
