Title: Sad about all the rave reviews
Review: I read this book three years ago and finally decided to post my reaction. Michael Pollan's research and engaging story-telling fascinated me, in the first part of the book. But then, I found his blinders sad and his false statements disturbing as he misrepresented the practices of farmers and judged vegetarians/ vegan diets as unhealthy and unsustainable.Also, it was little disgusting that his advice ignored many disadvantaged people lacking time or resources to grow a garden or buy quality food, much less designer food.The New York Times recommendation is becoming a red flag for me as the non-fiction books they rave about are often, like this one, hurriedly sent to press with inaccuracies and glaring bias.I rate this another bestseller that will eventually be abandoned.
Is the review positive or negative?
