You might find Omnivore's Dilemma a little dull - it's almost exactly the same as In Defense of Food, without the practical application advice. It helps to have this in your kitchen: http://sara-christine.blogspot.com/2008/10/eat-food.html<br /><br />:)Sara Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739119602001930468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838259016251265825.post-83475146753968070102010-03-24T09:17:22.832-07:002010-03-24T09:17:22.832-07:00I just re-read my comment and cringed at my commen...I just re-read my comment and cringed at my comment "Nice Work!"

I liked his other books, but this one focuses only on delightful one-sentence recommendations on how to eat healthier/more real.<br /><br />Just discovered you blog - really love it.

And yes! Watch Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, it's stunning to see so much unhealthiness at an early age.

My husband and I have long been believers in health and "clean" eating, and Bittman's book really reinforced those beliefs.
