Good but not worth it if you have Omnivore's Dilema 
Let me say that on its own this is a very good book.

You'll read it in a day but remember it for a long time 
This book is excellent, mostly because of the references you'll find to other books. Very good research into a subject that matters to us all. A good starting point into the problems and rewards of eating well.

The Truth to Health Is In Real Food: This should be required reading in ALL schools
"Most of what we're consuming today is not food, and how we're consuming it--in the car, in front of the TV, and increasing alone--is not really eating."
It is the American paradox that the more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we seem to become. Pollan explains why this has happened and what we can do about it. Understanding the context of health is vital to understanding how to achieve it in our current circumstances.
