Hailed as the patron saint of farmers' markets by the "Guardian "and called one of the great food activists by "Vanity Fair"'s David Kamp, Nina Planck was on the vanguard of the real food movement, and her first book remains a vital and original contribution to the hot debate about what to eat and why.In lively, personal chapters on produce, dairy, meat, fish, chocolate, and other real foods, Nina 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. The" New York Times" said that "Real Food" poses a convincing alternative to the prevailing dietary guidelines, even those treated as gospel. A rebuttal to dietary fads and a clarion call for the return to old-fashioned foods, "Real Food" no longer seems radical, if only because the conversation has caught up to Nina Planck. Indeed, it has become gospel in its own right. This special tenth-anniversary edition includes a foreword by Nina Teicholz ("The Big Fat Surprise") and a new introduction from the author."
