by Michael Pollan
Sixty-four short rules distilled from In Defense of Food and reader wisdom: do not eat anything your great-grandmother would not recognize, avoid foods with more than five ingredients, eat when hungry not bored, leave the table a little hungry. It takes an hour and sticks for years.

Three things you will actually use
