Real Food: What to Eat and Why by Nina Planck

I recently got into a very interesting conversation with one of my smarter (wink) friends about what humans eat and she brought up a great point, essentially, the heart of this dilemma: she said, "humans have no idea what to eat, I mean, look at us!" And my friend is exactly right, we are a species that doesn't know when to say when and we readily accept "industrial food" in place of "real food," and Planck successfully conveys this fact. This book made so much sense it was frustrating. Nina Planck manages to tell the reader what the reader already knows, that real food ( fresh meat and veggies, whole milk and unpasteurized cheese - the foods humans have been eating until very recently) has countless benefits. Whereas, industrial food containing preservatives and chemical compounds have the ability to make us weak and sick. Planck lends her powerful argument to the discourse on human diet and her point of view is a very important one.
