Helpful Score: 2

Interesting book - sort of 4 short books in one, loosely related, all pretty thought provoking. His discussion of "4 meals" I really didn't follow, other than the first and the last. In each section the author interviews one farmer/provider in that particular branch, and then goes from there. I'm not sure that I'd agree with the posted description that it "gives a portrait of the American way of eating", but it does follow the food chain for certain meals, including one where he did the actual hunting (of a wild pig) and gathering (of mushrooms).
