 Must Read December 30, 2008
This book is a life changer. A must read for every American, in my opinion.
eye-opening December 23, 2008
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. December 18, 2008
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 December 16, 2008

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.
Great Book December 14, 2008
Very interesting. It is for the person who really wants to know where our food comes from.
