If you want to know all about food, every bit of it, read this book. It is involved, but witty and a relatively easy read.

I read and saw the film, "Fast Food Nation." That was more than enlightening and educational. Michael Pollan's book covers more, more, more. From farming, grocery store buying, ingesting... Read this book and your food shopping, cooking, eating will never be the same. But you will know better and be more healthy.

Pros: Enlightening

Cons: None

I thought this book was very well written, and gives interesting insight into the choices we make about what we eat, and where it comes from. Every American should read this book, and really stop and think about where their food comes from, and if they want to continue to eat in the way that they currently are. It made me change some things!

Pros: a must read for anyone who cares what goes into their bodies

Cons: not a light read

this is a very informative book that tells us a lot of things we don't really want to know but all should know. It's frightening to learn about how our food is processed. The long stuff about corn that someone else commented is true, it's a lot of info but there's a reason - we feed corn to cows and they're not meant to eat it!

Pros: very informative

Cons: None

I found this book to be interesting and it reinforces what we all know already. We need to eat more natural foods....veggies and fruits and hopefully as organic as affordable.
Processed foods and alterations to our foods is harmful and truly why we are a overweight and physically sick society.

Pros: none

Cons: none

This book will change the way you think about the food you eat. It is very explicit about how our food gets to the table. Interesting, but not for everyone.

Pros: Very interesting

Cons: Not an easy read
