The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
by Michael Pollan
Certainly torn on this. There's definitely a lot of changes that need to occur in how we eat and what we eat. While those are questions that many of us need to raise, how we answer them can be challenging based on our current food system. Pollen, while he raises incredibly valid and reasonable points, comes across as more of an optimist and lacks the realistic aspects of daily life. There's no clear cut suggestions offered and steps to take other than just think more deeply about where the food comes that we eat. Perhaps that was his intention. In terms of the writing, he meanders from journalism, to philosophy, to history, to narrative, and everything in between. This is a book that may benefit from a bit of priot knowledge.
