Nutrition seems complicated and confusing (it is so hard to stay healthy these days!) but the author argues that following contemporary, modern nutrition research and fads is akin to letting a medieval doctor operate on you—more likely than not, you'll be better off not letting him. Instead, the author claims it is all quite simple: Just "Eat food. Not too much. Most plants." The 64 rules are just guidelines to help you do that. ( )

Overall, a good set of rules on what to eat (and not eat), but not very substantive past that. This is essentially In Defense of Food boiled down into some guidelines for eating. Nothing really new here, but good to have it reiterated. ( )

Short and to the point, made me really thing about food in a different light. I especially enjoyed the "Don't get your fuel from the same place your car does" and the "corn refueling stations". Sometimes cooking is a chore and I needed a little motivation to get me back into a better groove. ( )

Common sense advice on what to eat and how to eat, which sadly, many of us living in the Western hemisphere sorely need. ( )

No-nonsense list of food rules - all very common sensical and easy to follw. ( )
