Food Rules - Michael Pollan

Here's a cute rule that I enjoyed:
Rule #24. “Eating what stands on one leg (mushrooms and plant foods) is better than eating what stands on two legs (fowl) which is better than eating what stands on four legs (cows, pigs and other mammals)” – This Chinese proverb offers a good summary of traditional wisdom regarding the relative healthfulness of different kinds of food, though it inexplicably leaves out the very healthful and entirely legless fish.
Atheists have always argued that this world is all that we have, and that our duty is to one another to make the very most and best of it. ~Christopher Hitchens~

I've decided my reading material was getting a little too philosophical so I'm about to re-read all the HHGttG books again. I need a laugh.
