By S. Dickson
This is an excellent guide to follow. I changed my entire eating habits over a year ago and basically follow these rules. It is a wonderful guide to healthy living.

By April Fifield
I received this book in excellent condition in a speedy delivery.
It is also an excellent, easy, simple book to read.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Plain and simple. A great place to start   2010-03-14
By Kevin C. Key (Berwyn, Illinois USA)
No, this is not an exhaustive treatise on proper nutrition. But, what it IS, is a good start. The best part of this book is that it's easy to pick up, and read a tidbit to get you headed the right direction for the day. And the material is good. Honestly, it's like I read one of Pollan's books (and face it, this is not REALLY a book--it's a long pamphlet), and these are the main points that I underlined throughout. They are all gathered between two covers, and ready to read. No long discussions about the intricacies of multinational food conglomerates--read his other books for those--this is just the functional, straight-to-the-point suggestions.

I read it quickly (and you will too), but am now reading one chapter a day, and trying to apply that to each day. Eventually, I feel prepared to make a difference in my health, and the health of the planet's food sources as well.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Great, no-nonsense book. Rules you will USE!   2010-03-14
By Deanna (Rhode Island)
Pollan's other books, including The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Botany of Desire, are superb. "Food Rules" is no exception. I have read many diet, recipe, eating, and cooking books, but this one is, in many ways, a game changer. The "rules" are so common-sense and obvious that you will think about them, remember them and use them! There even times I wanted to smack my forehead in a "wow I could have had a V-8!" way when I read these rules and realized their obvious simplicity and intelligence. Pollan's writing style is engaging and this book is a quick read, one that surely will not disappoint. In a world full of so many strict rules, the last of Pollan's rules is a refreshing reminder of his common-sense approach: "Break the rules once in a while". Sounds good to me.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  A little Common Sense   2010-03-14
By Regina Brown (Southfield,MI)
I saw Mr. Pollan on T.V. with Oprah talking about his book, so I came on Amazon and bought it at $5.00. Very good price while everyone else is paying retail price $11.00. But the book is simple to read and also its telling to use a little commom sense when you go shopping in a supermarket. Some of the comments he made I had all ready knew because of working in a health food store for 7 years. And some I have gotten a little education on. Reading the book I can see the words but they are a little small but I had assume the publisher and the writer was trying to cram everything in this little book. But thats ok I think everybody should get this book to change there eating lifestyle and it will help them to be a better person. :-)
