Food Rules

To round out this food thread, I'd like to recommend a wonderful, very brief book by Michael Pollan called "Food Rules: An Eater's Manual." Michael has written several books about food and the consequences of our food choices.  This book states three main rules and 64 sub-rules about eating and food.

The rules are clear and simple ideas about eating in healthy ways, such as: "don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food" and "regard nontraditional foods with skepticism" and "eat when you are hungry, not when you are bored."

If you want to change the way you eat, the (un)common sense contained in its pages will help.

As Pollan writes, "Eat food, mostly plants, not too much."
