Rules for Eating

Paraphrased from Michael Pollan's lecture today, "In Defense of Food: the Omnivore's Solution." My favorite thing he said was something like, "Whenever you go shopping, imagine your grandma there rolling along with you. Would she eat it? Would she even know what it is? If not, you shouldn't eat it, either." And no foods with more than five ingredients. We just don't know what's in it. Makes very good common sense to me!

From personal experience, I'd suggest adding, "Don't eat what your dog won't." (And often, "don't eat what your dog will," because you'd be horrified to know what they're putting in that puppy chow.)
