Food Rules

Who This Book Is For

The ideal reader is someone overwhelmed by nutrition noise yet craving a sane, doable way to eat well. They cook at least a little—or want to—but don’t want recipes, macros, or moralizing. They value health, energy, and long-term simplicity more than hacks, and they’re willing to trade novelty for everyday habits. They shop in supermarkets, not specialty stores, have a normal budget, and appreciate guidance that fits families, lunchboxes, and commutes. They like rules of thumb, not rules to police; they want a compass they can remember in the aisle: eat food, not too much, mostly plants. They’re curious about tradition, skeptical of health claims, and open to learning from culture—slower meals, smaller plates, company at the table. Above all, they want food to feel relaxed and pleasurable again, not a spreadsheet—and they’re ready to improve by changing defaults, not identities.
