Food Rules

Do you find food complicated? Do you walk the aisles of the grocery store reading labels and shaking your head? Do you wish that you knew what to do with all of that great looking produce at the farmer’s market? Well, you are not alone. And, Michael Pollan, has written a short and sweet book on how to figure all of this out.

Food Rules: An Eater's Manual written by Michael Pollan

This is a book of food wisdom complied to help people navigate the grocery store and eat better. The rules are simple and straight forward. And, you do not have to have a degree to understand them. For example:

Rule #2 Don’t eat anything your great grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food

Rule #45 The whiter the bread, the sooner you’ll be dead

Rule #74 Don’t get your fuel from the same place your car does

If you need a quick jump start to eating more responsibly, this would be a great place to begin. Eating real food is intimidating, but this book takes out some of the guess work and offers some fun advice to get you on track. And, now that summer is here, and farmer’s markets are opening again, it is a great time to make a commitment to healthy eating.
