My sister-in-law and her husband gave me a couple of great books for my birthday; The Maker’s Diet: Shopper’s Guide by Jordan Rubin and Food Rules, An Eaters Manual by Michael Pollan. I just finished reading Food Rules and I must say that I really enjoyed Michael Pollans’s simple no-nonsense approach to eating. There are hundreds if not thousands of books out there about how and what to eat but not many break it down as simply as Michael Pollan did in his book.  It’s not filled with calorie numbers, fat counts, or other specific nutritional  guidelines. Instead its filled with short chapters on things like “If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don’t” and “Eat only foods that will eventually rot”. Micheal has laid out a book based on guidelines that are simple but effective. He very easily breaks down what is wrong with the Western Diet and does it in a way that most, if not all, people can understand. The basis is to eat real food. Not food made in factories. Not food made with dozens of different ingredients. Real food. The kind you would pick straight from the field or buy straight from your neighborhood butcher.

If followed (and they are easy to follow), then you will undoubtedly become healthier.  This is a quick read and most definitely worth it. Simple but effective and I loved it.  I give it two thumbs up.
