Hi. Good news.
Where's the China Study?
I'm glad to see Pollan's book, but what about Dr. Colin Campbell's groundbreaking "The China Study"? I've bought over two dozen copies for friends and family as Campbell basically shows that we have the highest chance of long-term health if we stick with a whole foods, plant-based diet. Say goodbye to the majority of cancers, heart diseases, and a host of auto-immune disorders. This book should be recommended reading for every single grade schooler, and if you are a parent who reads this, you will most likely not want your children every drinking milk again. :)

What Mr. Obama has done to protect US Jobs?
What Mr. Obama has done in protecting US jobs, especially fighting off-shoring high value knowledge jobs such as IT and high tech positions? I would feel extremely betrayed, if all his promises turned out to be nothing but election rhetoric.
In Defense of Food
This is totally absurd, to say "eat mostly plants". This is dark ages thinking and does not work long term by any stretch of the imagination.
ChefMD's Big Book of Culinary Medicine (http://tinyurl.com/34h8pm)
Terrific choices, especially Anticancer; well-researched, personal and smart. And YOU: thow Onwer's Manual, Updated: (full disclosure: I did many of the recipes).
I'd offer one other book, above, covered in USNWR in May:
"La Puma, who taught the first cooking and nutrition course for medical students in the country at SUNY Upstate Medical University-Syracuse, explains in a new book written with Rebecca Powell Marx, ChefMD's Big Book of Culinary Medicine: A Food Lover's Road Map to Losing Weight, Preventing Disease, and Getting Really Healthy,(http://tinyurl.com/34h8pm) how everyone can add "medicine chests" to their kitchen pantries. He spoke with U.S. News about the book, in which he offers foods to eat for 40 conditions, plus 50 easy recipes to try."
