I read this book on my kindle in about an hour. Thanks to Michael Pollan for creating something simple, down to earth, and to the point. I love all of the adages and "grandma" sayings like, "The whiter the bread, the sooner you'll be dead." In a nutshell, if it can't be found in nature or you can't make it yourself at home, DON'T EAT IT!

The book is not preachy or judgmental, but gives common sense guidelines for healthy eating that will lead to optimal health and disease prevention.

Now, if we can just get more people in higher places to read and heed this advice! For example, the public school system who thinks that ketchup is a vegetable, or that chocolate with HFCS is a good idea for children.
