Author Michael Pollan has a great (small) book out called, "Food Rules." It's one of those books that just has a few words per page---a very quick read---very witty/funny---and very true! We, as a nation, should honestly NOT need a book like this. Since Michael has gone to the work of writing it, though, I feel we should check it out, smile, and take heed to his sound advice.
I'll share a few to give you an idea of what Michael means by "Food Rules":
*Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.
*Avoid foods you see advertised on TV.
*Eat only foods that will eventually rot.
*Eat only foods that have been cooked by humans.
*It's not food if it arrived through a window in your car.
*The whiter the bread, the sooner you'll be dead.
*Don't eat breakfast cereals that change the color of the milk.
And...My favorite:
*It's not food if it's called by the same name in every language. (Think Big Mac, Cheetos or Pringles)
Pretty basic stuff...great reminders when we're shopping, thinking of what to eat and teaching our kids and grandkids about healthy eating choices.
"Food Rules" also offers simple explanations to go along with the 'rules' given.
Yet another way to build health into your life...
May you be blessed with great health--
