I agree with other reviewers that it can feel a little text-booky at times...however, I LOVED THIS BOOK. I nearly drove my family crazy citing the ills of how corn has taken over our food supply...I was amazed at how out-of-touch most of us are with how our food actually gets to our table.

I appreciated that Michael Pollan didn't come across as preachy or self-righteous and isn't an extremist in regards to vegetarianism/veganism. Rather, I felt like he was documenting his own journey of discovery and inviting the reader to do the same.

It is really eye-opening. I think it is a must-read for anyone wanting to be more conscious and intentional about something we all do everyday - EAT.
