I originally read In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan way back in March 2010 when first got it. I never really wrote a true book review but just said: “I just finished reading “In Defense of Food” and it was amazing. Truly eye opening. He starts off the book with “Eat food. Not too […]

I did find their nutritional information on their respective websites (Little Caesar’s, Papa Johns). Instead, I settled […]
