(Adapted from In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto, by Michael Pollan)
- Don’t eat anything your grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food.
- Avoid foods containing ingredients you can’t pronounce.
- Don’t eat anything that won’t eventually rot.
- Avoid food products that carry health claims.
- Shop the peripheries of the supermarket; stay out of the middle.
- Better yet, buy food somewhere else: the farmer’s market or organic store.
- Pay more, eat less.
- Eat a wide diversity of species.
- Eat food from animals that eat grass.
- Cook and, if you can, grow some of your own food.
- Make meals and eat them only at tables.
- Eat deliberately, with other people whenever possible, and always with pleasure.
Life is Now. Press Play.
