Michael Pollan is the author of five previous books, including In Defence Off Food, a Number One, New York Times best seller on DH. The Omnivore's Dilemma, which was named one of the 10 best books of the year by both The New York Times and The Washington Post. Both books won the James Beard Award, a long time contributor to The New York Times Magazine. He is also the Night Professor off journalism at the University of California at Berkeley. In this short, radically pared down book, the author unpacks seven key words off guidance. Eat food not too much, mostly plants into three sections totaling 64 rules or personal policies designed to help you eat real food in moderation and, by doing so substantially get off the unhealthy sugar, salt and fat laden Western diet. The rules are phrased in everyday language. He deliberately avoids the vocabulary off nutrition or biochemistry, though in most cases there is scientific research to back them up. The rules in Section one, for example, will help you to distinguish real foods the plants, animals and fungi. People have bean eating for generations from the highly processed products off modern food science that increasingly have come to dominate our food market places and diets. Each rule proposes a different philtre for separating the one from the other, but they all share a common aim, which is to help you keep the unhealthy stuff out of your shopping cart.
