FIRST SENTENCE: Eating in our time has gotten complicated - needlessly so, in my opinion.
SUMMARY: [From Barnes and Noble] Michael Pollan, our nation's most trusted resource for food-related issues, offers this indispensible guide for anyone concerned about health and food. Simple, sensible, and easy to use, Food Rules is a set of memorable rules for eating wisely, many drawn from a variety of ethnic or cultural traditions. Whether at the supermarket or an all-you-can-eat-buffet, this handy, pocket-size resource is the perfect guide for anyone who would like to become more mindful of the food we eat.
THOUGHTS: Now this is a "diet" book I can get behind. Pollan lays out simple, easy to understand rules for developing a healthy relationship with food and eating. It's not a "do/don't do this" kind of book, but it does over valuable advice for navigating the modern world of food. It's the Pirate's Code of food, they're more like guidelines.
RATING: 7/10 [Very Good]
