[From the Archives of Our Bodies, Our Blog](/blog)# And the winner is ... Michael Pollan!

By Our Bodies Ourselves • February 26, 2009

Please note: This entry -- originally posted at [Our Bodies, Our Blog](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/blog) -- has not been updated since the publication date listed above.

Thanks to all our faithful readers who [shared their excitement](http://www.ourbodiesourblog.org/blog/2009/02/our-bodies-ourselves-pregnancy-birth-awards-accolades#comments) at the [nomination](http://www.ourbodiesourblog.org/blog/2009/02/our-bodies-ourselves-pregnancy-birth-awards-accolades) of "Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth" for a Books for a Better Life Award.  
  
The award ceremony was held Monday night in a swanky hotel in Times Square, and co-editor Heather Stephenson and I had a grand time mingling with authors and publishers and supporting a good cause (the event was a fundraiser for the Multiple Sclerosis Society).  
  
I know it sounds like an Academy Award speech, but we were delighted to be nominated, and honored to lose to author Michael Pollan and his fabulous book, "[In Defense of Food](http://www.amazon.com/Defense-Food-Eaters-Manifesto/dp/1594201455/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235672792&sr=8-2)."
