Hi friends, health is wealth is an age old saying but often forgotten one. I am really great full to Nina Planck who has written this most useful book "Real Food: What to Eat and Why". I read this book with great enthusiasm because the author has dealt about the nature of food which is to be taken in our daily life. She explains clearly what is a real food for us, what is to be eaten and why.The first impression about this book starts from the cover page itself when you can see a very attractive picture of fresh fruits and vegetables.I liked her emphasis for traditional foods like real butter and real cheeses. Also the book warns us about the health hazards of food containing chemicals and pesticides. Overall it is a very informative work and should be read by every one including every housewife who are directly involved in food management and preparations.It is a best guide for future generation since the traditional food system is slowly disappearing which is very alarming.
