Episode #021 - Book Review: In Defense of Food

This episode is another in our book review series of discussions.  Today we discussed In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan.  This book is a great look at the current problem we find ourselves in globally as a result of the "Western" diet and the chronic diseases that tend to result from over-consumption of ultra-processed foods.  A return to a whole-food based diet is the theme of the book and our conversation, and we hope you find value in what we discussed.  We will be reading The Life of King David by J.S. Park during the month of October and would welcome you to read along and offer any questions/comments you have. Remember, if you have any questions or comments, or topic ideas you'd like to hear discussed in future episodes, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] Show Notes: (01:45) - What we're learning about (07:26) - "Eat Food" (whole vs. processed) (11:26) - Quantity vs. quality of food (19:53) - Nutritional Inflation (21:18) - Nutritionism (25:22) - "Not Too Much" (regulating intake) (30:55) - "Mostly Plants" (37:00) - Concluding thoughts   Extreme Energy by MusicToday80: https://soundcloud.com/musictoday80/r...
