What Foods Are You Eating That Qualify As Actual Food?

One of my favorite nutritional guides of all time was not written by a doctor or nutritionist, but by journalist Michael Pollan. The book is called Food Rules and you can read it in about 30 minutes. It’s a distillation of much of Michael’s research into what foods actually give us life and sustain us. To me it’s so blunt you can’t miss it, it’s humorous and it’s profound. The tagline for the book is, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Some chapters are merely a headline, such as rule #2: Don’t eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food. Rule 19: If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don’t. Rule 20: It’s not food if it arrived through the window of your car. So as we’ve been on the topic of supplements and the previous episode where we discussed what we’re putting in our body that it doesn’t need and what are aren’t giving our body that it does need, I’m going to give you a run down of Michael Pollan’s Food Rules, as I find it so helpful for myself and others in giving easily digestible perspective to what foods to eat and now eat.
