An Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan

The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a life changing book. I was absolutely riveted by even the most in depth portrait of farm life and even corn genetics.

This book has inspired a great many of my friends and family as well, as I keep pushing more and more of them to read it. We are all trying to be more conscious of where our food comes from, taking part in Community Supported Agriculture groups, and setting aside our ignorant bliss about food production.

I've been more conscious of food's origins since Fast Food Nation, an equally riveting read, but this book brought much of the delicate balance of flora and fauna to real fascinating life for me.

This book is also SO much more interesting than any of the movies or documentaries about the same topic. I am happy to see this area getting so much national attention.
