Food Rules: An Eater's Manual [B2321]

2011 HCDJ in nice clean condition. An enhanced edition of Food Rules-beautifully illustrated and packed with additional food wisdom Michael Pollan's Food Rules prompted a national discussion helping to change the way Americans approach eating. This new edition illustrated by celebrated artist Maira Kalman-and expanded with a new introduction and nineteen additional food rules-marks an advance in the national dialogue that Food Rules inspired. Many of the new rules, suggested by readers, underscore the central teachings of the original Food Rules, which are that eating doesn't have to be so complicated and that food is as much about pleasure and community as it is about nutrition and health. A beautiful book to cherish and share, Food Rules guides us with humor, joy, and common sense toward a happier, healthier relationship to food.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Don't be put off by the world "rules" in the title. The tone of the book is not that insistent. It's a short book with short chapters - good commonsense reminders (e.g., avoid processed foods with ingredients that your grandmother wouldn't recognize the names of). It's a nice guide for getting back on track or staying on track with health, wellness, and nutrition.";

"Food Rules: An Eater's Manual is a stark reminder from Michael Pollan that when society rewards conformity, telling the plain truth becomes an act of genuine defiance.";

"An easily accessible, short version of 83 simple rules for eating by the acclaimed food journalist Pollan. The illustrations by Maira Kalman are outstanding."
