Editorial Review:
Product Description:

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.

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.

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.
