"In the more than four decades that I have been reading and writing about the findings of nutritional science, I have come across nothing more intelligent, sensible and simple to follow than the 64 principles outlined in a slender, easy-to-digest new book called Food Rules: An Eater's Manual , by Michael Pollan." --Jane Brody, The New York Times "The most sensible diet plan ever? We think it's the one that Michael Pollan outlined a few years ago: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." So we're happy that in his little new book, Food Rules , Pollan offers more common-sense rules for eating: 64 of them, in fact, all thought-provoking and some laugh-out-loud funny." -- The HoustonChronicle " It doesn't get much easier than this. Each page has a simple rule, sometimes with a short explanation, sometimes without, that promotes Pollan's back-to-the-basics-of-food (and-food-enjoyment) philosophy." -- The Los Angeles Times "A useful and funny purse-sized manual that could easily replace all the diet books on your bookshelf." --Tara Parker-Pope, The New York Times, "In the more than four decades that I have been reading and writing about the findings of nutritional science, I have come across nothing more intelligent, sensible and simple to follow than the 64 principles outlined in a slender, easy-to-digest new book called Food Rules: An Eater's Manual , by Michael Pollan." --Jane Brody, The New York Times "The most sensible diet plan ever?

  • Food Rules - Excellent Book, Quick Read

    This is an excellent, simple, no-nonsense book. It is basically everything you need to know to greatly improve your eating habits and get away from the unhealthy American diet of highly processed foods full of unfamiliar additives, excessive fats, and sugars. Enjoyable to read and very informative.

  • To the point

    I love how there is no insane bias or gobs of scientific info and facts and he isn’t trying to prove a point. Just giving some awesome well-rounded advice that anyone following any “diet” like paleo or vegan or keto etc can gain SO MUCH from

  • Buy it Follow the ruless

    One of the best little nutrition books I've read. Simple common sense rules. Easy to understand, difficult to practice. Because of this little book i pay more attention to what I eat. I focus on eating Food (no more than 5 ingredients) eating less, eating mostly plants and strive to avoid eating all "food like substances". I have bought and continue to buy this book to give to family, friends and nutrition interested others. Highly recommend.
