 If you want to know how to eat March 2, 2010

If you want to know how to eat, in this book Michael Pollan expands on his mantra- "Eat food. not too much. Mostly Plants. A guide to eating actual food in today's world. Very simple but very informative.
Great rules but following them is somewhat challenging March 2, 2010

I love this book! It has really helped me rethink how I want to feed my family (I have 2 young boys). I guess I knew in general that certain foods weren't great, but to really think about whole foods vs. foods made by scientists in factories, really hit home and I'm now making different choices. The rules that have probably changed our eating the most is to buy foods that don't have sugar in the first 3 ingredients and have ingredients you would actually keep in your pantry. Do you know how hard that is, especially for breakfast? It eliminates almost all cereals and yogurts. I've taken a lot of time to read labels in the last couple weeks and really there are only about 3 cereals at Trader Joes and 3 cereals at Safeway that meet this criteria, that my family would actually eat. These same stores had no yogurt that fit this bill, but Whole Foods did. We've also been following the rule that says if you're going to eat treats, make them yourself. This rule may actually be backfiring on us since the kids love to bake and we're eating way more treats. I think my own rule of, "if you don't want to eat a lot of it, don't keep it in the house" may supercede Pollan's. But all other rules are really working for us!
Great Book! February 28, 2010

This book is a quick and easy read and something you could read again and again. Michael Pollan's "Food Rules" make a lot of sense, but a lot of points he makes are things I never thought of before. I think twice before I put food in my mouth after commiting myself to following these rules.
 Brief extracts from Pollan's earlier work February 28, 2010

I mistakenly bought this book, thinking that it constituted original work only to find that it consists of very brief extracts from Pollan's In Defense of Food. It was there a waste of money for me. Pollan's nutritional advice is sound, but you should skip this and buy In Defense of Food instead.
 Plain rules, not much content February 28, 2010

Simple book of rules. You can read it in 10 to 15 minutes. Not a lot of content.
