This is my summary of the recommendations at the end of Unhappy Meals by Michael Pollan.

  • Eat real food that people 2000 years ago would have recognised as food
  • Avoid foods that have health claims
  • Don’t buy things with unfamiliar or unpronounceable ingredients
  • Ideally don’t buy anything with an ingredients list
  • Shop organically, sustainably and locally rather than going to the supermarket
  • Pay more, eat less
  • Eat until you are 80% full
  • Eat mostly plants, especially leaves
  • Flexitarians are as healthy as vegetarians
  • Eat in more traditional ways, as cultures historically have
  • Cook your own food
  • Grow your own food
  • Eat a wide variety of foods
