Food Rules: An Eater's Manual by Michael Pollan

4.0

I read this a few years ago at a different place in my life, with an ignorance of diet culture. I do think it’s helpful to identify nourishing foods and at the time I did enjoy it. However, it can also trigger some to slip into restrictive eating/diet culture mentality. So if you’re not at a place where you’re able to eat intuitively then pass this one by. If you’re in a healthy place with being able to listen to your body with hunger and fullness and respect it for what it is then peruse it and see if it’s helpful. If you find yourself starting to place food into moralizing categories though, judging yourself or others for choosing foods that go against the so-called rules, put it aside.
