Food Rules by Michael Pollan
informative
2.0
Seen some of Michael Pollan videos on youtube and bought this book on a whim as I have been searching for literature related to food and food culture for a long time.
Unfortunately, this left me somewhat disappointed. I could say that in the wrong hands, a lot of the rules enunciated could lead to ED. As and European, and as an Italian specifically, this gave me only a couple of tips that I wasn't aware of.
And maybe it's because I wasn't the right audience for the book. But then again, how would buy such a book about food if not someone that is already leading the life that Micheal Pollan is preaching?
A lot of the rules were redundant and heavily based on a USA diet. Which would have been nice to know beforehand.
I will be checking out his In Defense of Food, as he cites it to be more scientific-based.
