Eat Food, Mostly Plants, Not Too Much
Michael Pollan's new book, "Food Rules" follows in the same foot steps as his previous book "In Defense of Food". Eat Food, Mostly Plants, Not Too Much. Here's a sample of some of the rules in his new book:
Avoid foods you see advertised on television.
If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don't.
Don't eat breakfast cereals that change the color of the milk.
Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.
Don't eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.
Don't eat anything with more than five ingredients, or ingredients you can't pronounce.
Don't eat anything that won't eventually rot...There are exceptions --- honey --- but as a rule, things like Twinkies that never go bad aren't food.
Always leave the table a little hungry.
Eat meals together, at regular meal times.
Don't buy food where you buy your gasoline. In the U.S., 20% of food is eaten in the car.
