Michael pollan rules for eating6/29/2023 To do this, he called on the US public to help him by sharing their own food rules. His motivation in releasing this accessible pocket-sized paperback reflects the importance of educating a wider (no pun intended) American audience about food. Pollan is well known for having popularised awareness about the consequences of the industrial food system in his decisive and detailed Omnivore’s Dilemma (2006). If you, like Pollan, believe that fast food is not food but rather an “edible foodlike substance” (or that KFC is not actually chicken), then you can safely assume that many people are not eating food, let alone cooking it. 18% of American adolescents are considered obese.67% of American adults are considered overweight or obese and.One in four Americans eat fast food daily.These 2006 statistics (which may not take into account recent upward trends) prove that they don’t: Presumably everybody already follows Rule 1, Eat food, and Rule 63, Cook - right? Many of the rules in American food writer Michael Pollan’s new book, Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual are so obvious, you wonder why he bothered to compile them for us.
