Funny food rules.

We Fitness Nerds take anything author Michael Pollan has to say as gospel, so it with quasi-religious ferver that we await his new book, Food Rules: An Eater's Manual, which hits shelves in January.

In researching Food Rules, Pollan asked New York Times readers to tell him their food rules. Here is the resulting slideshow. It's pretty funny and well-worth a few minutes of procrastination time.

All there glowing accolades aside, we do admit that Pollan's last book, In Defense of Food, did slightly overlap with his previous effort, The Omnivore's Dilemma, so we hope this new tome covers fresh territory. Here's an idea, Mikey. Write about monster trucks. That would be rad!
