Summary: 5 Stars
I stumbled upon this book on accident and am glad to have found it.
Pollan is an amazing writer. This book was very easy to read and provided much needed information about the treatment of animals and how other food is processed, without being preachy. This book has made me think twice before putting food into my shopping cart. Insightful, informative,and his tidbits of humor keep the pages light when need be. Will definitely buy other books of his!
Book Review: simply excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
This easy to read book says it all. Having worked in agriculture for over 30 years I thought that I knew a great deal about the subject matter. But this exceptionally well written treat opened up new areas for me. I loved taking a rest and reading it.Book Review: A Required Read for Everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
This is such an incredible book. The information in this book is important and informative. Everyone should read it to gain some understanding of where our food come from. I think our condition, how our food is produced, needs a revolution. Book Review: A Classic on Food and Our Culture
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books I have read lately. Somewhere between an expose, history lesson, and memoir, the book provokes many thoughts as to where his past and future meals come from and their effects on the world. Reading it made me contemplate buying a place in the country and raising my own food. Particularly pertinent at this time of increased ethanol production and consumption, that section is equally informative in explaining how we are awash in a big government subsidized tidal wave of corn.
