Michael Pollan's latest book is Food Rules, where he sets out to provide readers with concise rules to eat by. Some of his rules include "Avoid food products that contain ingredients that a third-grader cannot pronounce" and "Avoid foods you see advertised on television." Michael's other books include In Defense of Food and The Omnivore's Dilemma.
