Dear Foodies,
I have a wonderful Mother.
This last week she decided to buy me some books. One being Food Rules.
Michael Pollan is the author of this book. Pollan has written several works on food, including, The Ominvores Dellima, The Omnivores Dillema for Kid's, and In Defense of Food, these being some of his more popular works.
This book is basically exactly what it's title states. Rules for eating.
Rule #1? Eat Food.
Sound easy? Nope.
And because the book is so simple, I can't tell you any more than that. Except for one thing. You can win a copy of the book by leaving a comment on this post. You have until Thursday to enter. Then I'll let you know who won. The Incredible Prize.
Seriously though, even if you don't win the book here, buy it here. It is worth having. Just to review basic facts that should be in the back of your mind every time you take a bite.
Benjamin Serven, Foodie
P.S. I really do have a great Mom.

I've not read any of his books, tho i would like to. I'd also like to read Sally Fallon. He was one of the narrators of Food, Inc.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your blog. I enjoy it. :)
I am looking forward to winning this book. I think I need more rules on eating.:)
ReplyDeleteI love Michael Pollan! I actually took a college course centered around The Omnivore's Dilemma.
ReplyDeleteI agree, your mom is wonderful!! :) Sounds like an intriguing book!! :D

Sounds like a great book..thanks for the opportunity for the drawing!
ReplyDeleteYou do have a wonderful Mom! You should tell her that more often. I wish I had taken more opportunities to do so when I was home. :) Oh, yeah and the book looks interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll enter this one, too. Thanks for another giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteComment :D
ReplyDeleteSo this looks like a great book! Melissa Ten Dolle
ReplyDeleteEnter me, too! I'd love a copy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fascinating book! I would love to be entered into your drawing...
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks to Perry (above), I saw this on facebook, told all my friends there, on two twitter accounts and stumbled your amazing blog here.
ReplyDeleteIf I do not win the book, then give it to Perry, 'cause he told me all about it.
One thing which a great mother also does (besides giving her children great books to read, feeding them real food) is to show the kids how to garden (this helps also when it comes to *real food*).
See you at the Farmers Market,enter me in! Myra
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a lot of comments, doesn't give a body much hope of winning! HAHA!
ReplyDeleteYour mother does look like, and from what I've continually heard, that she would be a wonderful person! I have not had the pleasure of meeting her though. Nor you for that matter! HAHA! Your dear sister Rebecca is a wonderful representative for your family though. :)
Anyway, rule #1 in your new book is nearly exactly the same as first rule in Jordan Rubin's books 'THe Makers Diet' and 'The Great Physician's Prescription for Health and Wellness'- Eat (what was created for) Food! I'm supposing that this book defines 'Food'? Is it the same or similar to what Jordan Rubin says is created for food? And does it approach the subject from a biblical perspective as he does?
Am very interested!
Happy picking!
(BTW, I don't think you should give extra 'points' to those who share this on FB or Twitter etc.; some people don't have those things and it will put them at an unfair advantage. ;) I would just take it for the PLAIN value of their comment! ) :) [And how many smilys they have! :) :) :) :) 8-D 8-D 8-D 8-D :-) :-) :-) :-) :0} :0} :0] :-} :-} :-} :p :-] :~) :~) :~) :~) :>) :>) :>) :>) =.) (that's a beauty mark on the last one!)
I put this on facebook, enter me please!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting, enter me, please.
