Michael Pollan is laying down some new rules and he’d like your input.

The author of Food Rules, a book containing advice for more sensible, sustainable and healthier eating, is asking readers to submit their best rules that may be incorporated into the next edition of Food Rules, which will be published next fall.

As a vegetarian, vegan or flexitarian, what food rule would you like Pollan to include in next year’s book?

We’ve already submitted two our of rules.

1. If you can chase it, don’t eat it.
2. If it can chase you, don’t eat it.

Sure hope we make the next edition!

Michael Pollan was interviewed by Time magazine where he answered 10 questions on food, health, the environment and animals.

The author of the The Omnivore’s Dilemmna and most recently, Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual, was asked about his diet.

“I still eat meat. But I eat a lot less. I have enormous respect for vegetarians, but I believe there are ways to eat meat that are good for you and good for the environment.”

What do you think of Pollan’s response?

Are there environmentally friendly ways to produce and consume a little bit of “ethically raised” meat or non threatened fish every now and then?

Michael Pollan is a hit or miss with vegetarians.

Not a veg himself, he lost even more popularity points by calling the vegans neurotic.

But he does call for an end to excessive fast food, less consumption of meat and a return to the kitchen to cook your own food.

That includes your own junk food.

In an interview with the New York Times, Michael discusses one his latest book, Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual, and shares one rule about eating junk food.

“Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.” That gets at a lot of our issues. I love French fries, and I also know if I ate French fries every day it would not be a good thing. One of our problems is that foods that are labor or money intensive have gotten very cheap and easy to procure. French fries are a great example. They are a tremendous pain to make. Wash the potatoes, fry potatoes, get rid of the oil, clean up the mess. If you made them yourself you’d have them about once a month, and that’s probably about right. The fact that labor has been removed from special occasion food has made us treat it as everyday food. One way to curb that and still enjoy those foods is to make them. Try to make your own Twinkie. I don’t even know if you can. I imagine it would be pretty difficult. How do you get the cream in there?”

Hey, if the producers of Zombieland can make a vegan Twinkie for Woody Harrelson, it’s worth a try at home!
