Food Rules

I've mentioned Michael Pollan's Food Rules book a few times, but it is so in line with my nutrition & food philosophies that I just have to give it more attention.  So for the next few months, I'll be posting intermittently about some of the rules and how to apply them (realistically) in your life.  

I have lots of favorites when it comes to the "rules," but this is one of them:   
It's not food if it's called the same thing in every language (Think Big Mac, Cheetos, Pringles).

Seriously, this stuff is not food, it's a collection of edible substances created by someone in a lab.  Gross!  (Not to say you should never eat these foods if you love them, but once in a great while should really be the goal).
