“Food Rules” by Michael Pollan

Most of us are trying to become more conscious about what we put into our mouths. In the age of industrially manufactured, synthetic “food”, all-you-can eat buffets and heavily advertised junk available around the clock, it’s not always easy to separate the fad from the food.

Journalism professor and bestselling author Michael Pollan just came out with a concise paperback guide consisting of 64 simple, universal rules. These can be read in less than 20 minutes and are easy to understand and memorize.

At a suggested retail price of $11, Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual is a bargain. (Publisher: Penguin Paperback, 112 pages, ISBN-13: 978-0143116387)

Pollan is also the author of the highly acclaimed The Omnivore’s Dilemma: the Secrets Behind What You Eat and In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto.
