Title: Liked it More Than I Thought I Would
Review: I've been meaning to read "Omnivore's Dilemma" because I've felt like I should: If you're interested in books about food, this one seems unavoidable. I was hesitant because it's become such a lightning rod that I was concerned it was going to be a highly political jeremiad against modern agriculture, which I actually think is necessary to feed the world. Reading the book, though, it became clear to me that while Pollan certainly has strong opinions of how the world should work, he is not nearly so condemning of alternative views as either his supporters or detractors make him out to be.For this reason, I think it's a good read. Should Michael Pollan be made Secretary of Agriculture, and should this book be required reading in schools? Um, no. Let his supporters make those silly points. He himself is not silly, and I respect that.
Is the review positive or negative?
