I read a lot of books about food and nutrition. When I find one that is especially interesting or loaded with good information, I like to tell all my friends so that they might read it too.
I love these books:
The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan
This book follows the path of our food from field to plate. It is quite shocking and may very well change the way you think and feel about the foods that you eat.
The End of Overeating. Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite
by David A Kessler, MD
This book explains the lengths that food manufacturers go to in order to make certain foods irresistible. The goal is to sell us lots of food and keep us coming back for more despite the fact that it may be making us sick and overweight. The book also offers strategies to overcome and ignore all the marketing.
