What to Eat by Joanna Blythman
William Leith15 March 2013
Joanna Blythman writes about food. She tells us what’s good and what’s bad and why. Her message: avoid processed food and eat organic if possible. Organic is good because of what’s not in it — pesticides, which are, of course, poisons. Eat meat but remember that it is made of what the animal you’re eating has itself eaten. So grass-fed beef is best. Watch out for trans fats and hidden sugar. This might sound obvious. What’s also obvious is that someone needs to say it. In terms of her advice, she reminds me of the brilliant American food investigator Michael Pollan. I trust her.
