Pollan on Eating Well

Here's a sampling of Michael Pollan's rules of how to eat well:

Avoid food products that contain ingredients that are unfamiliar, unpronounceable, more than five in number or include high-fructose corn syrup.
Avoid products that make health claims.
Shop in the peripheries of the supermarket, where the fresh food is; avoid the middle, where processed food resides.
Eat meals, not snacks.
Eat plants, especially leaves.
Don't get your fuel from the same place as your car gets its gas.
Eat slowly, at a table, and try not to eat alone.
