In Defense of Food - Transition Town Vincent movie night
Paddington Ale House141 Scarborough Beach RdMt Hawthorn,What should you eat to be healthy?
Join best-selling author Michael Pollan on a fascinating journey to answer the question of what to eat for good health.Cutting through confusion and busting myths and misconceptions, In Defense of Food shows how common sense and old-fashioned wisdom can help us rediscover the pleasures of eating and avoid the chronic diseases so often associated with the modern diet.
Pollan examines a wide variety of diets from cultures and traditions around the globe and throughout history.
Along the way he shows how a combination of faulty nutrition science and deceptive marketing practices have encouraged us to replace real food with scientifically engineered “food-like substances.” And he explains why the solution to our dietary woes is in fact remarkably simple: Eat Food, Not Too Much, Mostly Plants.Event Details:
