NPR had a tongue-in-cheek
piece about Michael Pollan's new book
Food Rules: An Eater's Manual. In this book, he expands on his core "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly Plants" with other maxims such as "if it's a plant eat it; if it's made in a plant, don't."
The forum has been a fertile ground for these pearls of wisdom. To wit:
Mike G's
Rule of Pizza: Always try a pizza that's been around since the 50s, there's the chance they haven't turned it into imitation Domino's crap yet.
Or
The
Kudho rule: If your first dinner is not up to snuff you owe it to yourself to have a second.
Or one I'll make up right now:
Never is a great time for nacho cheese.
So I thought this would be a good grounds for discussion. What food rules do you live by?
