Add a CommentDelightful and very informative book!Love it!Great size to carry with you too!
This book must have been a breeze for Michael Pollan to write - it sure was a breeze to read! Sort of a summary of his In Defense of Food, this almost-pocketbook (it's almost small enough to keep on hand throughout the day!) provides you quotes, anecdotes and moer about how we should focus (or not focus) our eating. From old wives tales to etiquette rules, Mr. Pollan really has created an easy manifesto for "good" eaters everywhere. Remember: Eat food, not a lot, mostly plants!
I very much enjoyed this quick little pocketbook. I have not read other work by Michael Pollan but intend to after this one. He describes this book to be less about the theory, history, and science of food, and more about our daily lives and practice. The book includes 63 rules (I prefer to call them suggestions...) in line with Pollan's theory to eat food, mostly plants, and not too much. The layout is simple and well organized. I like this book as many of the rules are in line with my own ideas on healthy eating. This is a great to review when you need renewed focus on healthy food choices
This little book is great but it deserves only 3 starts because it is only a summary (quick and easy to read) of Michael Pollan awesome book: In Defense of Eating. If you are lazy read this one, if you want more details and a better read go to In Defense of Eating instead.
Fantastic book for sensible eating. Loss the diet and just stick to these rules. This is a pocketbook of the rules that were explained in "In defense of food".
Short form of the conclusions from his previous book, which explains how after millennia of successful human diets we Americans have managed to embrace a diet that causes deadly diseases. Entertaining yet to-the-point: "Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much." He has great rules for recognizing food.
A quick 20 minute read that manages to simplify and clarify the mountains of information out there about what we should be eating for optimum health. I loved this book and highly recommend it! Its humerous, helpful, and I only wish I'd read it sooner.
This is a joyful and very light read. Gives you some ideas to ponder about what food means in your life.
Most weight loss and nutrition books throw in a lot of big words and complicated theorys to try and impress you with how smart they are, whereas this book keeps it simple and proves itself beautifully.
An adorable yet scholarly and informative book. It took me two days to read the whole thing and I loved every bit of it. :)
