Marquette – DocuMonday will offer a screening of the 2015 documentary “In Defense of Food” on Monday, October 3 at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of the Peter White Public Library.
Author, journalist, activist, and professor, Michael Pollan (Food Rules, The Botany of Desire) searches for the answer to the question: What should I eat to be healthy? Cutting through confusion, myths and misconceptions, this documentary shows how common sense and old-fashioned wisdom can help us rediscover the pleasures of eating and avoid the chronic diseases so often associated with the modern diet.
From the plains of Tanzania to Loma Linda, California, to Paris, France, Pollan shows how a combination of faulty nutrition science and deceptive marketing practices have encouraged us to replace real food with scientifically engineered “food-like substances.”
“In Defense of Food” is rated PG and runs for 120 minutes. There is no admission charge. For more information, visit www.pwpl.info or call 226-4318.
