Summary: Changed my life.
Comments: This book changed my life. No really, it did. It is beautifully well written however contains so much valuable and accessible information. Eone should be required to read it because it dispels many misperceptions about food products available today. Michael Pollan is1of the greatest authors I have ever read and I endorse this book to eone. In fact, I plan to give it to eone for Christmas this year. |

Summary: What we need to know, and do not
Comments: I heard 1st about this book while viewing CSpan 2 several months ago. Read this book and then his follow-up In Defense of Food: An Eater's ManifestoBoth books were eye-openers as to what we should and do not know about the omnivore's true dilemma. I am still puzzled about "organic" however did learn to look for real food rather than all those nonfood substitutes so prevalent in our grocery stores. I am also convinced I'll spend more to get better tasting real food from now on. I like those eggs that stand up and taste so great. Also, I am reading labels and avoiding products with more than5ingredients where I can find them.
The book was suggested for my local book club and we were to review it today, December l6, 2008. The Club was cancelled due to inclement weather; however, several of the Club members said we really had to discuss it. It is now scheduled for January, 2009. Oh yes, the author was on Bill Moyers program last week.
