Sixty-four little rules
I’d like to recommend Michael Pollan’s new book, Food Rules [Penguin, 2009]. It’s just what you need while you’re planning your garden and recommitting yourself to doubling your efforts to eat local in 2010 You’ll love all 64 RULES especially # 64 When you’re not laughing out loud, you’ll be saying, “I can do that and that makes sense.” He only refers specifically to farmers’ markets, home gardening, canning & freezing and eating local a few times, but the implication for almost every rule is that local is best, home cooking is best and eating with friends and family is a must. If you’re still confused about the health claims regarding meat eating, read #23 and learn about flexitarians. After reading #27, you’ll be glad to make the effort to buy from Tom Arnold. And finally # 36,” Don’t eat breakfast cereals that change the color of the milk” and # 37 ” The whiter the bread, the sooner you’ll be dead.”
