Eat fresh and eat plants and vegetables is at the core of the book and rightly so. The idea is to rid oneself of processed foods or anything that comes in a can or a bottle. The basic premise of the book (according to me) is that eat what your grandmother or your ancestors would recognize as food. I guess that is where the major difference actually lies. At the same time, Pollan does not discourage eating something sinful or pampering oneself, once in a while however we need to understand that it is just once a while and not every single day. The book is divided into three parts and each part tells the reader a little more towards healthy living. It deals with the basics or rather it gets to the basics of food and our dietary habits. “Food Rules” is a book that pretty much tells you what you already know. At the end of the book, I wanted to change the way I eat and I hope I do. I was certain that life would not be the same after reading this book and I was right to a very large extent. Perhaps I was scared that it would all be clear – what I eat is unhealthy and maybe I would be forced to think about what I eat, how much I eat and how I eat. I was always interested in reading Michael Pollan’s small book of food habits and what to eat and how called, “Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual”.
