Customer rating is 4 of 5  Health Enthusiast   2010-03-09
By david goodwin (California, USA)
Good information in a very very broad way which is goo for those who have little knowledge on health. Half of this book is what I would consider common knowledge, but then again i am a very health conscience person. Although most of the book was broad the rest of book however was very practical and very informative. A 4.5 Star Book for those trying to be healthier. It has nothing on Organic Foods which one needs to know how much healthier it is to eat organic or wild (it covers wild foods) foods.
Customer rating is 3 of 5  The common sense food handbook?   2010-03-09
By S. Ruo (Rhode Island)
For me, Pollan points out a ton of ideas that are in my mind common sense. I think this is a great book for the person who eats out 5-7 days a week and has no idea how to cook anything. Also a good book for people that think chips and pretzels is an acceptable dinner. But for the majority of people who actually have interest in a book like this, we probably already have a good idea of what we should and shouldn't be eating.

So, I'd say, it was just so-so. As the very least, it takes about an hour to read so it won't waste too much of your time.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Nicely Done!   2010-03-09
By D. Vischer (Colorado)
Michael adds his sense of humor with facts that make real sense. Was just a bit disappointed there wasn't more detail or examples around the rules.

By Martin J. Rafanan (St. Louis, MO United States)
Michael's Pollan's Food Rules: An Eater's Manual is a must have book. This brief compendium of "rules" related to food and our culture of eating provides invaluable information in a succinct and impactful manner. Since I've purchased the book, I've referred to it almost daily and am trying to put its advice to use. Highly recommended.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Great Little Book   2010-03-09
By Martina Bantham (Upstate New York)
This is a great little book. It's a quick read and speaks to Pollan's mantra of "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." It provides great tips for eating better. Some of the points are a bit repetitive but it 's meant to allow you to pick the points that speak to you, and use them as a guide to better eating. I found it helpful and enjoyable.
