Isn't "In Defense of Food" the one that tries to alter the definition of "food" until it no longer encompasses many of the unhealthy things we eat? (EDIT: yes, yes it is.) I originally dismissed it without a second thought because I associate that sort of puerile silliness with... well, things other than science. But now you're saying it gives a solid overview of nutrition science and I can't help but wonder. > Vox is not a good start Yeah, but why is "In Defense of Food" a good start? The author is a professor of journalism and the wiki page links to an opinion piece by a professor of nutrition titled "'In Defense of Food' is short on science," which is precisely what I'd expect from a professor of journalism and from someone who tries to redefine what food means. Which puts me back in square 1 of not knowing where to start.
