"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 than the 64 principles outlined in a slender, easy-to-digest new book called Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual, by Michael Pollan."—Jane Brody, The New York Times

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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 than the 64 principles outlined in a slender, easy-to-digest new book called Food Rules: An Eater's Manual, by Michael Pollan." (Jane Brody, The New York Times)

"The most sensible diet plan ever? We think it's the one that Michael Pollan outlined a few years ago: 'Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.' So we're happy that in his little new book, Food Rules, Pollan offers more common-sense rules for eating: 64 of them, in fact, all thought-provoking and some laugh-out-loud funny." (The Houston Chronicle)

"It doesn't get much easier than this. Each page has a simple rule, sometimes with a short explanation, sometimes without, that promotes Pollan's back-to-the-basics-of-food (and-food-enjoyment) philosophy." (The Los Angeles Times)

Short and Sweat!

Loved every second of it! Appreciated the author narrated his own book. Easy to listen to.

Precise

This concentrated form of food wisdoms will save us thouthands, or possibly millions, of healthcare dollers in our lifeytime. I trurely appreciate the auther and his team for converting the ocean of scientific infornation and tradititional assets into digestible tips.

Concise and helpful

Quick and easy but very helpful and impactful. Great listen! I like how easy these rules will be to remember.

A tasteful treatise on uncommon sense

I live in the world and I am subject to the constant barrage of marketing surrounding the promotion of food and drugs. This story may not be profound, but it is nonetheless essential. This book helped my and my family and was well worth the time it took to understand.

I also grew up in a Betty Crocker household and Michael's story helped me understand what that is, why that is, and the potential consequences of living that way.

A must

Summarizing is a complete and short guide to know how to properly nourish yourself. Really short and accurate.

Time for an update?

I enjoyed Food Rules and given that it’s a ‘list’ of rules, I didn’t want or expect it to be too long. I’ll probably listen again in fact. Some of Pollan’s rules made me laugh, but I have to wonder if he’d edit, add to or drop any of those 64 rules today, 14 years after publication of the original list.

very good and great book

I have read a lot of books about nutrition but no book has provided me with such great ideas and advices, by the way, Michael pollan is a great author and narrator

Great listen

Loved this book it had a load of great eating tips on how to limit your self and know what type of foods simplified.

A Great Read/Listen w/Many Reminders and New Facts

This has a lot of easy to remember tips and suggestions! The book is light hearted and he has some great ideas on how to eat!! Well worth it!!!

Good easy listen

I liked most all. Only changes I would make are that I wouldn’t limit protein so much and I don’t think eating grass fed beef is important. These are trivial comments though and I think if someone were to adhere to all the rules they would be health as an Ox.
