Perfect manual. March 16, 2010 William Stettler This book/pamphlet is a great summary of points Michael Pollan makes in his previous books. For the most part it has one piece of advice per page, sometimes with a an explanation of the reasoning when necessary. It's perfect for people who need dietary advice, and who don't have time to read an entire book--or for people who need quick clarifications, or reminders, of the advice Pollan gives in his previous books. I changed my diet about a year and a half ago to comply with Michael Pollan's advice, and I have lost exactly 40lbs--and I'm still losing!
Food Rules March 16, 2010 S. Dickson This is an excellent guide to follow. I changed my entire eating habits over a year ago and basically follow these rules. It is a wonderful guide to healthy living.
Food Rules - Rules! March 15, 2010 April Fifield I received this book in excellent condition in a speedy delivery.
It is also an excellent, easy, simple book to read.
Plain and simple. A great place to start March 14, 2010 Kevin C. Key (Berwyn, Illinois USA) No, this is not an exhaustive treatise on proper nutrition. But, what it IS, is a good start. The best part of this book is that it's easy to pick up, and read a tidbit to get you headed the right direction for the day. And the material is good. Honestly, it's like I read one of Pollan's books (and face it, this is not REALLY a book--it's a long pamphlet), and these are the main points that I underlined throughout. They are all gathered between two covers, and ready to read. No long discussions about the intricacies of multinational food conglomerates--read his other books for those--this is just the functional, straight-to-the-point suggestions.
I read it quickly (and you will too), but am now reading one chapter a day, and trying to apply that to each day. Eventually, I feel prepared to make a difference in my health, and the health of the planet's food sources as well.
Great, no-nonsense book. Rules you will USE! March 14, 2010 Deanna (Rhode Island) 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.
