follow michael pollan's food rules

Avoid foods that have some form of sugar (or sweetener) listed among the first 3 ingredients.

Wanderers who happened to make it to this page and don’t know who Michael Pollan is, might have heard of his bestseller The Omnivore’s Dilemma. But the rules I’m referring to come from In Defense of Food and Food Rules: An Eater’s Manifesto. Brilliant stuff, not focused on specific foods or nutrients, but the general. His thesis being to “Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

I’m in the middle of In Defense of Food and I’m finding it fascinating. It also turns out that I’m a little guilty of the problem he seeks to resolve of being a little too overly health conscious. But that’s hard to avoid since I’ve been dieting lately.

I don’t think his rules would be all to difficult to follow, I just want to stick to it.
