I also love the idea of this book as a gift for people who are thinking of changing how they eat (and purchase food).

The Omnivore's Dilemma is one of my top reads of the year. I saw Food Rules (though not with illustrations...) at Half Price Books about a month ago, but I noticed it was the same rules as he puts up in In Defense of Food, so while tempted, I didn't buy the book. Still, I know what this book has to say and I love it!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-58623792436661962482011-10-09T03:20:20.379-04:002011-10-09T03:20:20.379-04:00This book looks awesome!

This is the first I've heard of it but I'm so going to read it! I love Michael Pollan. I actually haven't read the original Food Rules, but I've acquired a lot of his philosophies just from hearing him speak on television appearances such as Oprah and Dr. Oz. I tried reading The Omnivore's Dilemma once but found it much too technical and difficult to follow. Food Rules though seems like it's much more straightforward so I think I'm going to have to read the original as well as the picture book.<br /><br />I love Rule #57. So true. Though now I'm hungry for an apple (I must be REALLY hungry then).Beth S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06944635942712994937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-2761759531642456002011-10-08T11:48:46.774-04:002011-10-08T11:48:46.774-04:00I really really want this one - the illustrations ...I really really want this one - the illustrations are lovely!Belle Wonghttp://msbookish.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-21842373474311039072011-10-08T11:14:38.355-04:002011-10-08T11:14:38.355-04:00Thank you, thank you!

While I do follow some of them, others are new to me (like the business about eating an apple) I bet this book could teach me and my family quite a lot, and so I will be looking for it. I love that the illustrations are so vivid and wonderful as well.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
