Food Rules, by Michael Pollan

After viewing Food, Inc., I then read this fabulous little book by Michael Pollan that ties in nicely with the theme of processed food. You can read this entire gem in little more than an hour. The messages may be plain common sense but also made me realize how many of us often throw common sense right out the window when it comes to our relationship with food. Why do I say that? Because after reading his "rules" for healthy eating, it occurred to me that I wouldn't have a weight problem at all if I simply developed some common sense when it comes to food. Sample rules: "If it's called the same name in every language, it isn't food". "If it's passed through your car window, it isn't food." If you click on the title, you can read more about it on Amazon.com. I may just purchase a copy for a quick common sense boost from time to time.

I tell you, after watching Food, Inc., then reading this book, I walked through the grocery store today looking at the sea of items in an altogether different light.
