Food Rules: An Eater's Manual

by Michael Pollan

“Eating what stands on one leg [mushrooms and plant foods] is better than eating what stands on two legs [fowl], which is better than eating what stands on four legs [cows, pigs, and other mammals].”

Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.

I love this piece of advice. If only I could follow it!

If you made all the french fries you ate, you would eat them much less often, if only because they’re so much work.

So true

Spend as much time enjoying the meal as it took to prepare it.

If you are going to snack, try to limit yourself to fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
