School Book Saturdays

This weeks book is:
Summary: "A national bestseller that has changed the way readers view the ecology of eating, this revolutionary book by award winner Michael Pollan asks the seemingly simple question: What should we have for dinner? 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"


My Thoughts: I barely made it through this book. I thought it was the most boring book I have ever read.  Its all about plants and animals. There is an entire chapter dedicated to breeding corn. I don't understand how this was a national best seller. Spare yourself. Don't read this!
