Kalman draws us in with warm scenes, humorous scenes, and thought-provoking scenes. Pollan shares his thoughts and the thoughts of those who believed in the original "manual" simply and humbly.
While I love the original version, perhaps this one would make for better gifting. This version is still pretty small and portable, but it has a hard cover and is extremely colorful. This book is full of common sense.which I believe it what makes it so great.
Whipping it out and showing people how great it was. It was simple, small, paperback, easy-to-read print. I loved the original one when it came out, too. My thoughts/review: Simply put: I love this book. A beautiful book to cherish and share, Food Rules guides us with humor, joy, and common sense toward a happier, healthier relationship to food. Maira Kalman illustrates that simple truth with her paintings, bringing color, life and wit to Pollan’s philosophy.Ī collaboration between our foremost food authority and one of our most celebrated artists, as well as between an author and his readers, Food Rules has prompted a national discussion that is helping to change the way Americans approach their eating. Several of the new rules – Place a bouquet of flowers on the table and everything will taste twice as good If you’re not hungry enough to eat an apple, you’re probably not hungry When you eat real food, you don’t need rules – underscore the central teaching of the original Food Rules, which is that eating doesn’t have to be so complicated, and food is as much about pleasure and communion as it is about nutrition and health. Many chimed in with personal policies they had found useful in navigating the supermarket, or rules they recalled hearing from their mothers and grandmothers. The impetus for this new edition came from readers. Now in a new edition illustrated by artist Maira Kalman, and expanded with a new introduction and nineteen additional food rules, this hardcover volume marks an advance in the national dialogue that Food Rules inspired. The result was a slim volume of food wisdom that has forever changed how we think about food. Summary/synopsis (from Michael Pollan's website) : Michael Pollan’s Food Rules began with his hunch that the wisdom of our grandparents might have more helpful things to say about how to eat well than the recommendations of science or industry or government. A few random excerpts rules: 45.) Eat All the Junk Food You Want as Long as You Cook it Yourself.ħ0.) "Breakfast Like a King, Lunch Like a Prince, Dine Like a Pauper."
