Food Rules

Food Rules: An eaters manual/Michael Pollan 140 pg.

I really enjoyed "The Botany of Desire" by this author and had intended to read more and now just got around to Food Rules. Part of me wonders if this guy is a genius or a scam artist. This thin volume seems to repeat every common sense idea about food and boil it down to "eat food, not to much, mostly plants" then he expands this to 64 rules to follow to make sure you do what the 7 words tell you. In the end, it is all good stuff. My favorite rule "It's not food if it arrived through the window of your car." I read that right after hitting the drive through ;-) - Christa
