Praise for Food Rules
“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… You can do yourself and your family no better service than to invest $11 and one hour to whip through the 139 pages of Food Rules and adapt its guidance to your shopping and eating habits… This little book can… do more than the most authoritative text to get you motivated to make some important, lasting, health-promoting and planet-saving changes in what and how you eat.” – Jane Brody, The New York Times
