This review is from: The Omnivore's Dilemma (Paperback)
Every doctor, nutritionist and food maker should read it. This is why big companies are killing us we better buy from small stores and farms, eat right and not from a box. Eat local. Sometimes the book has too much info but read it ithis guy made his job investigating wher does our food come from

5.0 out of 5 stars A Life Changer, May 31, 2011

This is one of those books that will annoy your friends -- because you'll keep telling them about parts you remember from it. (Doubly annoying for my friends, because I can never describe the anecdotes as clearly and succinctly as Michael Pollan does.) This, despite the title and cover, is not one of those books designed to scare you from eating meat. It's a fascinating look at the big food industry, and smaller alternatives. I won't try to confuse the issues here, suffice it to say that there are fantastic descriptions of what "organic" food really means in today's world, the crazy way the industrial food machine has evolved to keep itself going, and intriguing looks at some back-to-basics approaches. There is even a very well thought out internal debate from the author as he tries to decide whether or not to go vegetarian.
