FOOD RULES goes to…

Well, I realized quickly that subjectively judging the comments was just a silly thing to attempt. So, I did a  drawing of the names of all who submitted, and I will be sending a copy of the book to Martha. And, what’s also interesting is that the comment made by Sarah very much echoes something in the book. Pollan writes for the #25 rule:

Eat your colors.

The idea that a healthy plate of food will feature several different colors is a good example of an old wives’ tale about food that turns out to be good science too. The colors of many vegetables reflect the different antioxidant phytochemicals they contain–anthocyanins, polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids. Many of these chemicals help protect against chronic diseases, but each in a slightly different way, so the best protection comes from a diet containing as many different phytochemicals as possible.

Thanks so much to all who posted comments and thanks to any readers out there!
