I'm just starting to read "The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals" by Michael Pollan. From the library, had to put it on hold so must finish it as peeps are waiting for it.
Anyway, I'm still in the midst of the Introduction. Will post more about it when I read more. So far it's mostly talking about how the simple question: "What's for dinner?" is a big problem because as omnivores we can eat anything. It's also talked about how America really doesn't have a food culture as it's such a new country and all the bits that come from everywhere else is part of what has brought on America's National Eating Disorder along with the political/governmental interference. How things wouldn't be quite so bad if the gov't had just stayed out of it.
I'm babbling and this is just what I've gotten from the flyleaves & first 5+ pages of the Introduction.
