'When reading this book I never felt guilty about my "nasty" habits, instead I felt inspired to change my habits and more able to make educated food choices." — Miss Remmers
From Amazon.com...
"Michael Pollan, our nation's most trusted resource for food-related issues, offers this indispensible guide for anyone concerned about health and food. Simple, sensible, and easy to use, Food Rules is a set of memorable rules for eating wisely, many drawn from a variety of ethnic or cultural traditions. Whether at the supermarket or an all-you-can-eat-buffet, this handy, pocket-size resource is the perfect guide for anyone who would like to become more mindful of the food we eat."
This was a fantastic book that made me really reevaluate my eating habits. Written so that absolutely anyone can understand — this novel is perfect for the classroom. What was so perfect about this novel was that it successfully highlighted the downfalls to the food industry without making the consumer feel guilty. I am probably the epitome of bad eating habits, but over the past few months I've gradually made changes primarily thanks to Michael Pollan. When reading this book I never felt guilty about my "nasty" habits, instead I felt inspired to change my habits and more able to make educated food choices. This is the key to Pollan's novel(s).
I highly recommend this novel to absolutely everyone — it will open your eyes to what you "knew" but never really understood. I plan on purchasing several copies of this book for my classroom; it's a great read that I feel could really help educate students on healthy eating habits and hopefully have a positive impact on the obesity rate of students.
