Don't eat breakfast cereals that change the colour of the milk" Just 1 of many Confucius type sayings from Michael Pollan's new book Food rules - an eater's manual It was the subject of a large feature in the Times Health supplement yesterday (that's where the photo comes from) and an Opinion piece today. Other pearls of wisdom include "It's not food if it's called by the same name in every country" (think big mac) and this Jewish Italian saying "The whiter the bread the sonner you'll be dead." Pollan is a well respected and influencial food writer - the Irish food critic John McKenna praises Pollan's book The Omnivore's dilemma as "the most important food book of the last 20 years" - so go borrow it now. Also quoted in the article is the DIT lecturer in human nutrition Dr. Daniel McCartney.
So "eat when you're hungry, not when you are bored" or as they say in Japan "hara hachi bu."
