Title: Should win a Pulitzer
Review: This well-written and researched book teaches a tremendous amount about our food chains (pun intended). First is the Industrial Food Chain. I had no idea that the Industrial food chain existed, though in retrospect of course I must have been aware somehow. This chain leads to McDonald's. The second chain is the Industrial Organic -- the Whole Foods, Wild Oats suppliers. I will always think about Pollan wearing a moon suit when visiting organic chickens. And "free-range" no longer means anything to me. The Beyond Organic section looks at Joel Salatin's Polyface Farm, and made me want to start my own farm. Finally, Hunting and Gathering--the shortest food chain. I didn't want to read about hunting, but Pollan got me there, too. I was fascinated throughout, and I am very thankful for this intelligent book.
