Average Customer Ratings:
A national bestseller that has changed the way readers view the ecology of eating, this revolutionary book by award winner Michael Pollan asks the seemingly simple question: What should we have for dinner? Tracing from source to table each of the food chains that sustain us— whether industrial or organic, alternative or processed—he develops a portrait of the American way of eating. The result is a sweeping, surprising exploration of the hungers that have shaped our evolution, and of the profound implications our food choices have for the health of our species and the future of our planet.

eye-opening -
This book is interesting and informative without being preachy. Pollan explains the reality of industrial food and the difficulty in returning to our roots. It definitely gives one a lot to think about. It's definitely influenced the way my family perceives and buys our food.
Changed my life. -
This book changed my life. No really, it did. It is beautifully well written but contains so much valuable and accessible information. Everyone should be required to read it because it dispels many misperceptions about food products available today. Michael Pollan is one of the greatest authors I've ever read and I recommend this book to everyone. In fact, I plan to give it to everyone for Christmas this year.
What we need to know, and don't -
I heard first 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 don't know about the omnivore's true dilemma. I'm still puzzled about "organic" but did learn to look for real food rather than all those nonfood substitutes so prevalent in our grocery stores. I'm 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 good. Also, I'm reading labels and avoiding products with more than five ingredients 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.
