Real Food - Nina Planck - $21.95

Science is finally catching up on what our grandmothers knew long ago: that traditional foods, and even fats, are actually good for you - and a whole lot healthier than the creations of food technology. Drawing on the latest independent research, Real Food offers a persuasive and invigorating defense of eggs, butter, meat and fat, as well as a powerful critique of a food industry that aims to replace these standbys with its highly processed, and sometimes deadly, imitations. This is a valuable and eye-opening book, written with the authority of a farm girl, redeemed vegan and intelligent analyst of nutritional science. Great gift book.
