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

---

A bit of a slow read. Author provides a lot of background and insight into the commercial agriculture and meat industry and contrasts it with the locavore and hunter/gatherer models. At times, way too much detail, but provocative info nevertheless. Has convinced me to frequent local farmers' markets for meat and chicken purchases from small producers whenever possible. Pollan now needs to write the Omnivore's Solution cause he doesn't provide a call to action at the end of the book. Expected otherwise.
