Food Rules by Michael Pollan

Fast, simple read. I really like the way he looks at food. I want to shift our household to more unprocessed foods and less meat, so this was a good for focusing in on that effort.

Eat Food

#6 Avoid food products that contain more than five ingredients

#10 Avoid foods that are pretending to be something they are not

#12 Shop the peripheries of the supermarket and stay out of the middle

#16 Buy your snacks at the farmers' market

Mostly Plants

#23 Treat meat as a flavoring or special occasion food ("flexitarians"=eat meat a couple time a week are just as healthy as vegetarians)

#25 Eat your colors

#26 Drink the spinach water

#30 Eat well-grown food from healthy soil

#35 Eat sweet foods as you find them in nature

#36 Don't eat breakfast cereals that change the color of the milk

#39 Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself

Not too much

#44 Pay more, eat less

#45 ...eat less

#47 Eat when you are hungry, not when you are bored

#50 "The banquet is in the first bite"

#54 "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper"

#51 Spend as much time enjoying the meal as it took to prepare it

#55 Eat meals

#58 Do all your eating at a table
