Oh my goodness, this was one of the most interesting, best-written books I've ever read. Not best book about food, just best book. So smart. It really made me think about the food I eat and where it comes from. But it was also funny and human. Pollan's voice--as a interested person really trying to find out where his food comes from--is unique and helps navigate through statistics and (gross) anecdotes.

Definitely gets you thinking about what you eat and how it's grown and its affect on the environment. I want to challenge myself to eat only locally grown food for one month this year.

This was a great book! it really makes you think about what you're eating and where it is coming from and everything that goes into it. I definitely recommend it but it is a long read, so dedicate a little bit of time to absorbing it. It made me want to plant my own garden and find the local farmer's markets this summer!

Pollan examines all aspects of eating including fast food, industrial production, organic farming, grass-fed animals and vegetarianism. I enjoyed this immensely and learned a great deal from Pollan. Much "food" for thought! Recommended.

Loved it! Especially the bits on foraging. So fascinating. I'll never look at corn the same way again.
