Food Rules: An Eater's Manual by Michael Pollan

I guess we know by now that the typical Western diet causes obesity and many chronic diseases, all of which could be prevented if we ate more vegetables. Eat mostly plants, says Michael Pollan. From "cook" to "try not to eat alone," this book is full of good reminders, in plain language, of things we all need to hear more frequently.

The book is very easy to read and should not take more than two or three hours to finish. Putting it into practice will be the difficult part for most of us.

Food Rules, which was originally published in 2009, was a #1 New York Times bestseller.
