The clearest, most useful food book I own.--A.
This practical guide offers bottom-line answers to your most top-of-mind questions about what to eat.
An expert on food\'s impact on human and environmental health, Egan organizes the book into four categories--stuff that comes from the ground, stuff that comes from animals, stuff that comes from factories, and stuff that\'s made in restaurant kitchens.
It\'s about having straightforward, accurate information to make smart, thoughtful choices amid the chaos of conflicting news and marketing hype.
To eat consciously is not about diets, fads, or hard-and-fast rules.
Is organic really worth it? Are eggs ok to eat? If so, which ones are best for you, and for the chicken--Cage-Free, Free-Range, Pasture-Raised? What about farmed salmon, soy milk, sugar, gluten, fermented foods, coconut oil, almonds? Thumbs-up, thumbs-down, or somewhere in between? Using three criteria-- Is it good for me? Is it good for others? Is it good for the planet? --Sophie Egan helps us navigate the bewildering world of food so that we can all become Conscious eaters.
