![]() ![]() Two fundamental facts provide the impetus Americans and other Westerners need to make dietary changes. But I suspect that this little book, which is based on research but not annotated, 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. And chances are you’ve yet to put most of them into practice. I, for one, have been writing and speaking about them for decades. If you don’t have the time and inclination to read the first two, 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.Ĭhances are you’ve heard any number of the rules before. You may recognize his name as the author of two highly praised books on food and nutrition, “In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto” and “The Omnivore’s Dilemma.” (All three books are from Penguin.) ![]() Pollan is not a biochemist or a nutritionist but rather a professor of science journalism at the University of California, Berkeley. 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. ![]()

![]() I have aspired to become an worthy example of sobriety, grace, and service. On May 18, 1988, I began my involvement in a 12-step program to address my issues with drug and alcohol abuse. On June 1st, 1992, I signed a contract with myself to create a nonsmoking environment. I was addicted to cigarettes, smoking a couple packs a day from the time I was 14 years old (the same year the incest ceased). Many years of psychiatry have helped me re-create an image of myself that is harmonious with who I want to be. I purposefully did not have children for fear of repeating the family illnesses. Relationships suffered and my only marriage failed miserably. I know from experience that I was as sick as my secret. Silence is dangerous – a real killer of the soul. ![]() I kept the secret until it became unbearable-I was 33 years old and suicidal most of the time by then.
