Journalist and UC Berkeley professor Michael Pollan became America’s leading voice on food matters with The Omnivore’s Dilemma – the bestseller in which he roamed the country to explore America’s diverse food subcultures.
Lately, he’s shifted his focus to nutrition and health, starting in 2009 with In Defense of Food, about the many advantages of whole foods over processed fare.
Pollan continued his exploration of healthy eating with 2010's Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual, which features science-based tips for healthy eating ... advice that dovetails nicely with traditional diets and plain common sense alike.
Jane Brody, the doyen of American nutrition/health writers, reviewed Food Rules in her February 1, 2010 New York Times column, where she gave it high praise:
“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 …”
“… you can do yourself and your family no better service than to whip through the 139 pages of Food Rules and adapt its guidance to your shopping and eating habits.”
We second Ms. Brody's endorsement, which is why we offer the book in our food store!
