Driving from Connecticut down to North Carolina in the beginning of may, I heard an interview with Michael Pollan on the radio, which I found erudite and most engaging. Then, when I was in line to purchase books for the first session of summer school, I saw that it was 15% off and decided to purchase.
This book opens up a whole world of things we as comsumers hardly think about. The three main lessons are Eat food. Mostly plants. Not a lot. Seems like common sense, yeah? But then, before reading this, I felt like I was a healthy eater. While reading this, I was condemning myself for things that I had bought. The whole food industry is messed up and needs a resurfacing. I highly recommend this book to those who are health conscious and/or curious about the evolutionary history of food as a culture. We have things all wrong, and it is just a matter of time before we start moving in the right direction (which may be back in time!). 5 stars.
