An amazing book...

If you're into food, whether just eating it and probably more likely growing it, you've probably heard of Michael Pollan. I've just started his book, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. In it, he chronicles how the food (or food-like substances) we eat gets from the field to our plates. The book came out a couple of years ago and I picked my copy recently in paperback form. He has since written In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto that just came out earlier this year. The tag line on the front cover reads "Eat Food. Not Too Much. Mostly Plants." There are so many things to take to heart (literally and figuratively) when it comes to the food we eat. It's truly amazing and eye-opening stuff. I could keep writing but go check out either of these books or buy your own copy. Below is a lecture he gave at Google last month.
