I would highly recommend this book to anyone who eats food! The information about food production in the United States is well-researched, entertaining and highly disturbing. Stripping away 19th century notions of how food arrives at our table and the role government has played in facilitating big business' takeover of this industry are key themes of this thoughtful book. Micheal Pollan encourages us all to take responsibility for knowing what we are eating. In the long run, this is better for our economy and for the environment as well as just plain better for our health. There are small steps to be taken by individuals and we can also demand more of our government. Read this book-you will enjoy it and learn something!
