Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual

An enhanced edition of Food Rules--beautifully illustrated and packed with additional food wisdom

Michael Pollan's Food Rules prompted a national discussion helping to change the way Americans approach eating. This new edition illustrated by celebrated artist Maira Kalman--and expanded with a new introduction and nineteen additional food rules--marks an advance in the national dialogue that Food Rules inspired. Many of the new rules, suggested by readers, underscore the central teachings of the original Food Rules, which are that eating doesn't have to be so complicated and that food is as much about pleasure and community as it is about nutrition and health. A beautiful book to cherish and share, Food Rules guides us with humor, joy, and common sense toward a happier, healthier relationship to food.

MICHAEL POLLAN is the author of five previous books, including In Defense of Food, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and The Botany of Desire, all New York Times bestsellers. A longtime contributor to the New York Times, he is also the Knight Professor of Journalism at Berkeley. In 2010 Time magazine named him on of the 100 most influential people in the world.

MAIRA KALMAN is an illustrator, author, and designer. She is the author of And the Pursuit of Happiness and The Principles of Uncertainty, and she illustrated the bestselling edition of William Strunk and E.B. White’s The Elements of Style. Kalman’s work is shown at the Julie Saul Gallery in Manhattan.
