«El detective en el supermercado» is Michael Pollan's essay on food and health, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
The book analyzes how the food industry and nutritional science have altered our relationship with food, turning many products into mere substitutes. Pollan describes the «American paradox»: the more attention we pay to nutrition, the less healthy we are. Faced with confusion, he proposes recovering common sense, tradition and ecology, with practical advice for eating better and avoiding the diseases of the Western diet.
It belongs to the De Hoy collection of Ediciones Martínez Roca, which published it in 2009. The author, Michael Pollan, is a journalist specializing in science and the environment.
Recommended for readers interested in nutrition, mindful eating and criticism of the industrial food system.
