An Eater's Manifesto
by Michael Pollan
Book Reviewed by:
Yet as a general rule it's a whole lot easier to slap a health claim on a box of
sugary cereal than on a raw potato or a carrot, with the perverse result that

section, silent as stroke victims, while a few aisles over in Cereal the Cocoa
Puffs and Lucky Charms are screaming their newfound "whole-grain goodness" to
the rafters. Watch out for those health claims.
