Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating with More than 75 Recipes

”[Bittman] reports his own passionate belief in agricultural sustainability and slow food, and he touts a new diet that not only offers guilt-free pleasure but also makes Americans look as good as the beautiful people he hangs out with. His prescription: become aware of where food comes from; choose foods intelligently; pay attention to broad, inclusive nutritional principles; balance intake and exercise; snack judiciously; and make sure that whatever one eats, it’s as attractive to the palate as it is to the waistline. Bittman’s fame will generate lots of attention, and his commonsense advice, while not new, bears the hallmarks of contemporary nutritional wisdom.“–Mark Knoblauch “Booklist”“Bittman…offers this no-nonsense volume loaded with compelling information about how the food we eat is doing damage to the environment, what changes to make and why. … [His] recipes…make earth-friendly eating doable and appealing.”– “Publishers Weekly”
