A slight, useful pamphlet of all the things you should remember but don't.
It's hard for me to review this because, personally, I didn't find anything here that I didn't already know - but - having said that, that doesn't mean this wouldn't be a great book for someone just starting out on trying to eat/live in healthier manner. So it's usefulness for me? Zero. For someone else? Could be the jump start they need. Even with that I do feel the book could have been fleshed out a little more. Simplifying things for the general public is probably a good thing in today's ADD society if you really want to try and grab them but you might be taking that a *BIT* too far when it looks and reads like you wrote the whole book, from start to finish, over the course of one long weekend.
Easy quick read if you're interested in the take-aways from In Defense of Food (Pollan's previous book) but less interested in the research that went into deriving them.
Follow-up to In Defense of Food - this should be required reading for anyone who eats.
QUICK, informative (and funny) read about what to eat and when/how to eat it. Simple rules for healthy eating! Anything that helps de-complicate nutrition is a win in my book.
A good, quick read with useful advice on what we should be eating. His rules were crystal clear...now let's just see how easily I can follow them :)
I do believe Michael Pollan is correct when he states that this book is simply all you need to eat well. I recommend it if you need advice without all the background info. And if you'd prefer more details then go back to his excellent book, In Defense of Food, in which he summarizes all of his research on eating into "Eat Food. Mostly Plants. Not too much."
