The Short Answer to “What Should I Eat?” And the Long Answer Too

Michael Pollan, whose book, “The Omnivore’s Dilemma,” was chosen by the editors of The New York Times Book Review as one of the 10 best books of 2006, has written hundreds of thousands of words about what to eat. Now he gives it to us in seven words: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
Of course, in this substantial essay in the New York Times, Pollan has some splaining to do, and he does it beautifully. By food, for instance, Pollan means whole fresh foods, not processed foods. The rest of what Pollan means will take some time to read, but in Geezer’s opinion, it’s worth every minute.
