greatexpectations77 's review for:
The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
by Michael Pollan
challenging
informative
reflective
sad
slow-paced
I really learned a lot from this book (a lot of it a total bummer!), and I really appreciate Pollan's reporting and his writing. But whew, it was a bit of a slog to get through. It might have felt this way because I read it over a long period of time. I would recommend it, but maybe as something to revisit every one in a while and not something to power through. I think the material is also heavy, which makes it hard.
Graphic: Animal death
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Confinement, Blood
Minor: Eating disorder, Gun violence, Colonisation
