This book (or should I say "guide") is available at a time when we all should be paying more attention to what goes into our body. Times are tough for a lot of people and they're turning to cheaper food products to cut costs. So Spam, boxed Mac and Cheese and other highly processed foods are becoming part of daily diets. This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys good food but wants to keep it healthy. Nina Planck's book delves into detail about the foods we love and gives us permission to enjoy them without guilt. She has a natural writing style and "Real Food: What to Eat and Why" is fun to eat and fun to implement!
