Welcome to Litsy!

An excellent book to have on hand and live by. Simple, sound advice for how to eat. We all struggle with our food. We don‘t eat fresh, we don‘t eat about fresh, we eat too much of everything else. Eating is one thing that has the power to bring us together, and it really is true: you are what you eat. So do right by yourself! Grow your food if you can, with love, and most of all, prepare it with love. Your body will thank you. Shown: ⬇️

Great read. Concise writing and sensible advice on how and what we should be eating.

My first book 📖 in @Andrew65 's current #Awesomeapril readathon.

Also, thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes.

Still, the best nutrition advice out there. 💚Michael Pollan.

“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

1. I‘m in the middle of a few short books right now, including the tagged one. My attention span is zero at the moment.

Encouraging, informative, beautifully illustrated. This version of Food Rules can get you on the right track or serve as a reminder about how to take care of yourself. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Quick, clear, well-researched book on eating more healthfully. Really enjoying reading while I wait on my kiddo. #healthyreading

Short, concise, practical outline of healthy eating habits.

Started this little book today. So far my two favorite rules:
#13 "Eat only foods that will eventually rot."
#20 "It‘s not food if it arrived through the window of your car."

Common sense guide to food and what to eat. #reread #food

Short, sweet and to the point. I read through this book quickly. It is really just an expanded summary of In Defense of Food. Really good reminders. I'll pass it along to my husband, it'll be right up his alley.

Well, he's not wrong!

Enjoying this book so much! Nervous to try being vegetarian but happy to turn my health around! After years of being obese and six month reducing sugar and Chad carbs in ready!

#90sInJuly #MyHero Two of my heroes: Marion Nestle and Michael Pollan are food activists who educate and fight to ensure we have healthy food to eat and communicate it in an interesting and entertaining way. Here they are with a couple of my favorites of their many books.💚🍴🥑🥒💚

Today's reading selection. 🍏🍎🍐🍊🍋🍌🍉🍇🍓🍈🍒🍑🍍🥝🥑🍅🍆🥒🥕🌽🌶🥔🍠

My fellow Littens brought this book to my attention. While the book sounded interesting, I definitely bought this particular edition because of the artwork. It's on my tbr for March! #day2 #judgedbyitscover #marchintoreading #blameitonlitsy

This is an interesting (and rather depressing) Oct 2016 article by Michael Pollan about why the Obamas, despite promising overtures early on and an understanding of the issues, ultimately failed to take on corporate agriculture in the US: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/10/09/magazine/obama-administration-big... -- an important read for anyone interested in food issues in the US.

Now that was a very quick read. If you are no stranger to Michael Pollan's works, then you already know that he is a great advocate for eating healthy whole foods. This book is an amalgam of guidelines to help you with your eating habits. None of them are surprising or new but many people still have trouble adopting them. This year I'm cutting out processed foods from my diet except maybe twice a month and this book has helped cement my goals.

Chores over, lunch done, baby napping, driveway cleared. Now it's time to settle down for a bit and read. Anticipating a snowed in weekend, I picked a few books from the library yesterday, of which Pollan's Food Rules is one. Excited to dive into this slim book!

These are just some of the books that I bought largely due to recommendations from my fellow Littens. Not sure when I'm going to get to all of them!😂 #blameitonlitsy #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge #day19

I know this book is not the typical food book, but I spent so many Sunday dinners at my Italian grandparents' house (great-grandma included) that this quote always make me hungry. #mademehungry

2016, Book 31 "Indeed, I had a deeply unsettling moment when after spending a couple of years researching nutrition for my last book, In Defense of Food, I realised that the answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated question of what we should eat wasn't so complicated after all, and in fact, could be boiled down to just seven words: Eat Food, Not too much. Mostly plants."

#augustphotochallenge Here I am with Maira Kalman again. This simple little book with her spunky illustrations and Michael Pollan's "rules" inspired me to go vegan and make this cross stitch.
