Kindle complaints irrelevant!
This is a very funny book, but the indignant, whiny protests of the "Kindle Kids" are even more amusing - Get a life!

Food Rules: An Eater's Manual
Michael Pollan
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2009
Great, no-nonsense book. Rules you will USE!
Pollan's other books, including The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Botany of Desire, are superb. "Food Rules" is no exception. I have read many diet, recipe, eating, and cooking books, but this one is, in many ways, a game changer. The "rules" are so common-sense and obvious ...

This really works!
