If you are interested in learning more about our food system I recommend Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals.
Here are some raves about the book:
The New York Times Book Review
Thoughtful, engrossing . . . You’re not likely to get a better explanation of exactly where your food comes from.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Pollan has perfected a tone—one of gleeful irony and barely suppressed outrage—and a way of inserting himself into a narrative so that a subject comes alive through what he’s feeling and thinking. He is a master at drawing back to reveal the greater issues.
The Seattle Times
If you ever thought ‘what’s for dinner’ was a simple question, you’ll change your mind after reading Pollan’s searing indictment of today’s food industry—and his glimpse of some inspiring alternatives. . . . I just loved this book so much I didn’t want it to end.
Michael Pollan also wrote The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World,
and most recently In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto.
