Food rules daily life. I spend a quarter of my waking life—or more—dealing with it: planning it, shopping for it, eating it, cleaning up after it. Food Rules is also the title of Michael Pollan’s pocket guide to eating. In it, sixty-four “personal policies” guide one’s food choices around a central tenet: “Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much.” I’ll be using this handbook as an initial foundation for this blog, adopting one rule per week to incorporate into my daily life. Finally, food rules. That is, I like food, so let’s eat! –Annlee EllingsonTumblr (3.0; @foodrules)http://foodrules.tumblr.com/<a
