Kallshian (Seattle, WA USA) I have friends that read "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and really loved it, but realistically I just knew I would never finish that book. I'm busy and anything over 200 pages is just not going to happen. So when I heard that "Food Rules" was basically a summary of everything that Pollan said in "Dilemma" I grabbed a copy. There are some things that are common sense in the book, but what I really benefited from was the research he did on food science, sugars, and the use of corn and soy in Western foods. It's shocking, almost unbelievable to consider the lack of nutrition in most of the things we eat. This book, practically overnight, completely changed the way I look at food. I stopped counting calories, joined a CSA (community supported agriculture) where we have fresh organic veggies delivered every week, and since then I've had absolutely no trouble maintaining my weight and I'm eating as often as I want. The key is eating "real" food and not just empty calories (sugar), sodium and carbs. By taking Pollan's key advice (EAT FOOD. NOT TOO MUCH. MOSTLY PLANTS.) I have transformed my diet, learned a TON about cooking (I had to look up recipes to learn about new vegetables that I hadn't eaten before), and I feel good about supporting local farmers. Not to mention I feel fantastic on the inside after weeks of eating veggies and fruits. The last thing I should say is this; I have never been the kind of person that eats a lot of fruits and vegetables. I didn't know how to prepare them, they aren't as satisfying as a big steak, and they're more time consuming than eating out. But the way I was eating was not sustainable for a lifetime. As I get older, it's harder to stay at my goal weight, and eating at restaurants basically makes it impossible. Even with good intentions, you have every ingredient working against you. High sugars, sodium, preservatives of every kind... it's given me a new definition of "soy"lent green, because they can make soy and corn look and taste like pretty much anything you want! Scary! If you have the desire and will power to start eating right, this book is a sensational review of some basic Food Rules. It's becoming easier, more affordable, and more popular to eat healthy, organic and local. I decided to jump on the train and I am never getting off it. I suggest you come too, and Pollan will sell you a ticket for less than ten bucks. Eat safely   March 11, 2010 Kenneth R. Lukowski (VALRICO, FL, US) Book in excellent condition contents are very interesting and eye opening. Makes you think about food in a whole new frame and will change your way of knowing food forever..... A fun read   March 11, 2010 Rick M. This is a brief and highly enjoyable guide to good eating. A fun read! Short simple but useful book   March 10, 2010 Geordie W. Korper (Northern Virginia) This book is great. It is just a collection of simple rules to live by that you don't really have to memorize. Hardly any of the rules go over a page or so and they all make intuitive sense. If the book were more expensive it might seem too short, but given the price it merely feels light and breezy. MAKES SENSE   March 10, 2010 T. Swallow I found the book enlightening. Simple rules that made complete sense. I bought 2 extra copies to give away.
