Great, no-nonsense book. Rules you will USE!
Pollan's other books, including The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Botany of Desire, are superb. "Food Rules" is no exception. I have read many diet, recipe, eating, and cooking books, but this one is, in many ways, a game changer. The "rules" are so common-sense and obvious that you will think about them, remember them and use them! There even times I wanted to smack my forehead in a "wow I could have had a V-8!" way when I read these rules and realized their obvious simplicity and intelligence. Pollan's writing style is engaging and this book is a quick read, one that surely will not disappoint. In a world full of so many strict rules, the last of Pollan's rules is a refreshing reminder of his common-sense approach: "Break the rules once in a while". Sounds good to me.
A little Common Sense
I saw Mr. Pollan on T.V. with Oprah talking about his book, so I came on Amazon and bought it at $5.00. Very good price while everyone else is paying retail price $11.00. But the book is simple to read and also its telling to use a little commom sense when you go shopping in a supermarket. Some of the comments he made I had all ready knew because of working in a health food store for 7 years. And some I have gotten a little education on. Reading the book I can see the words but they are a little small but I had assume the publisher and the writer was trying to cram everything in this little book. But thats ok I think everybody should get this book to change there eating lifestyle and it will help them to be a better person. :-)
Quick rules offer easy ways to eat better
Michael Pollan is a leading voice in making us think about what we eat, how we eat, and how our food is created/produced. His books, The Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto, (both on my short list) have become the bibles for people concerned about our food. Food Rules is like a "Dummy's Guide" to how to eat for the rest of us. The book contains 64 rules, most no more than a short page long, which are split into three categories: What Should I Eat, What Kind of Food Should I Eat, and How Should I Eat.
Pollan clearly expects you to take to some rules more than others, and he is quick to point out that much of what he says is common wisdom. Given our current state of food production and our health issues, I'm not sure the wisdom is too common anymore. The first two parts are what you would expect -- eat real (not processed food), eat more greens, eat meat less often and make sure it is healthy, and don't buy anything your grandmother would not recognize as food. It was the third section which interested me the most. He emphasizes the communal nature of food and notes that when we eat together, we tend to eat better. The French get extra attention because they do not eat the healthiest food, but are in better health than most. He notes they eat less, take longer at meals, and drink wine -- all good things. "Stop Eating Before You Are Full," is one that hits home as I just passed losing 30 pounds in the past three months. Just the other day I ate too much and felt "full," which made me realize how good it is to not fill stuffed. But my favorite rule in the book: "Don't Get Your Fuel From the Same Place Your Car Does." No more six packs of powdered doughnuts for me!
Eat healthy
Michael Pollan was all over the airwaves being interviewed when book became available. While I tired of his exposure, it was for a good cause, this book is a bible for what to eat. I'm pleased that I was already obeying many of the rules.
Definitely a best buy!
Along with other books by Michael Pollan, this is a quick overview for shopping at the grocery and is compact to take with you. Definitely for those wanting to know what they're eating and want those foods to be chemical free.
