Simply organized, simply written, but still filled with common sense, Food Rules is an excellent reminder to eat smartly. It's a very fast read, easily completed in an afternoon. As this is January and many resolutions are created/broken this month, this is a perfect book to pick up and begin the path to better eating habits.

There's a wonderful NY Times interview about this book (http://tinyurl.com/yd2pw3q) where Pollan explains that it's more action than theory. How to take the theory of "In Defense of Food" and apply it to your diet. “If it came from a plant, eat it. If it was made in a plant, don’t.”
