What should I eat? What do we really know about the links between our diet and our health? You don't have to be a nutrition expert or scientist to care about what you feed yourself and your family. As a Fitness Professional, wife and mother I care about what my family & clients are eating. This book really sums it up, in sixy-four sensible, simple and easy to follow outlined principles.
Food Rules: An Eater's Manual by Michael Pollan, is a great handbook! I loved this little book and recommend you to buy it for you and your family to read. In the age of people following conflicting health advice, celebrity diets, government pyramids, low carb, low fat, etc. This book is such a simple, uncomplicated understanding of what to eat. I highly recommend it.
This book is broken down into sixty-four rules and each are accompanied by a paragraph or two of explanation, except for a few that are self-explanatory. For example, rule number 11 ("Avoid foods you see advertised on television") and rule number 7 ("Avoid food products a third grader cannot pronounce") are both designed to keep more or less the same highly processed foodlike products out of your shopping cart. Check it out, you can buy it at your local bookstore or at Amazon.

I believe in seasonal food and local ingredients. Occasionally, food from other parts of the world...
I'm reading An Omnivore's Dilemna right now and I really like it! It's pretty scary when you realize where food comes from. I'll have to check this one out too. Thanks Renee!
I want to read this I'm ordering it. I like your bookstore!
