Simple, common sense advice., 2010-09-07
Mr. Pollan dishes up great advice in this tiny, but very useful "handbook for eating".
Who would think we'd need such a thing? It's 2010! We know how to eat, right? Wrong.
If you've gotten off-track with the basics, or need to learn the basics, this will take you right there, and more importantly, it'll explain WHY.
I had this on my list here when I saw it at my local members-only club & picked it up there instead, because I wanted it "now", but can't say enough good things about the power of this book.
Why?
My mother, who has been on every diet known to man, to lose substantially & then gain it all back, who eventually had gastric bypass surgery and STILL struggled with food addiction, got quite a bit out of this book. I actually, for the first time in my 42 years, felt she "got it". If you know someone struggling, or if it's you, it's the best few dollars you may ever spend.
I had bought the book for myself, but when she picked it up & began actually reading me parts of it, I told her it was hers, and she STILL reads it to me. Go mom!! :)
Spare but Useful Book, 2010-09-01
Thanks to author Pollan many folks, like myself, are becoming interested in what (and why) we eat what we eat. His other books are certainly more informative but this is a terrific basic primer in what one should eat. Good stuff and well worth the seven bucks.
How about some publishing rules?, 2010-08-30
Whether it was the publisher or author responsible, someone ought to come up with rules on what to write and how to publish. This volume does not speak well of either party. The worth of content is questionable at best. It certainly does not complement Pollan's other laudatory works. OK...so it's a pocket guide. Cute. I'm not going to carry it in my "man purse", though. The book itself is very cheaply manufactured...if it's meant to be a carry-along guide, it should have a stiffened and supple cover; instead it is flimsy paperback material. The page paper is something less than newsprint....it will wear, tear and tan quickly. The pricetag doesn't measure up with the book in any respect. My copy is going back unread.
Helpful Rules, 2010-08-27
I checked this book out after watching Food, Inc. (Pollan co-starred, which probably changed my life, no joke). These rules were helpful toward making the transition into healthier eating. It is a quick read with easy enough rules to follow. Watch Food, Inc. and you will have no problem following these rules.

Another genius book by Michael Pollan. Simple and easy to read, a great starter "foodie" book.
