The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

Simple, awesome
A great book that gives perspective to the food we eat. It is certainly not an easy thing to eat your regular "treat" food or cheap food after reading. I only recommend this book for strong minded people. I love the unscientific nature of this book as well. The science of biology is way too young for us to trust in the same way we trust chemistry or physics. So what we have left is the tradition of eating simple food. 

Everyone should read this book...
Excellent book on food, where it comes from and eating right.

This was a great read! I was hooked as he elegantly walked me through the horrible and then amazing ways we can feed ourselves in such a diverse world.

Wow.

this is such a BORING book
i hate the fact that i need to read it for school...
if you're interested in this type of thing, then go ahead, but i don't like it
just my opinion, though

Review: The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

I wanted to listen to this book. I really tried. But even a 30 minute commute, Which makes me a captive audience, could not get me through this textbook on the food industry. I even stopped and pushed myself to start again. Doesn't work for me. Read full review
