Food Rules: An Eater's Manual

For thousands of years, humans have eaten well and stayed healthy without nutritional scientists or even knowing what an antioxidant is.

Eat Food,
Not too much,
Mainly plants.

Seven simple words of plain English.

These rules are simply designed to help you eat real food in reasonable amounts.

Phrased in everyday language and collected from grandmothers, folk wisdom, science and common sense from around the world, this book is all you need to eat healthily, dine happily and live well.
