I recently finished reading Michael Pollan's Food Rules and although it took me all of 30 minutes to read, it is packed with a lot of very valuable, common sense recommendations when it comes to food and eating.
I think it says it best in the description on the back of the book: "Eating doesn't have to be so complicated. In this age of ever-more elaborate diets and conflicting health advice, Food Rules brings a welcome simplicity to our daily decisions about food."
Pollan provides a very, very easy to read compilation of Food Rules, that are short and simple enough that you don't require a degree in human anatomy or physiology to understand. Although I don't agree with all 64 of his rules (I don't agree with parts of Rules 22, 23, 24, 37 & 38, 40 ) I think there is a lot of good information that makes this book worth a read.
Some of my favourites include Rule 21: It's not food if it's called by the same name in every language (Think Big Mac, Cheetos or Pringles) and Rule 19: If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don't and Rule 20: It's not food if it arrived through the window of your car.
