"Food Rules" & so does Michael Pollan!

I first heard about Michael Pollan back in 2006 taking an "Intro To Environmental Studies" class in college. I remember being shocked to learn about the dangers of high-fructose corn syrup & processed foods. I started reading Omnivore's Dilema this summer (which I confess I still have not finished, I'm considering picking up a copy of the version for kids!) I've also read his work on the New York Times and listened on NPR.

When I found out he was speaking at the Barnes & Noble near my office today I was thrilled for the chance to finally hear him in person & promote his new book, Food Rules. The new book is waaaay less scientific and more of a simple manual of what/how to eat. He sums it up in 7 words: Eat food, mostly plants, not too much. The book kind of breaks down those 7 words but with a very logical, simple, and kind approach. I spent the $11 and bought the book and also had him sign it. Not to mention, the cover is beautiful :)
