Negative Positive
Title: Brilliant, Convincing, Inspiring
Review: I was scared to read this book. Already a health-conscious and picky eater, I worried that with the knowledge in the book I wouldn't be able to maintain the ignorance required to eat the occasional candy bar or slice of bacon. And I already have a hard enough time eating enough calories in a day.But it turns out that ignorance is not bliss, and as Pollan states in the introduction, "this is a book about the pleasures of eating, the kinds of pleasure that are only deepened by knowing," and he is completely correct. Your body and the earth will thank you for acting on some of the knowledge that can be obtained from reading this. Not only is it fascinating, it is a page turner and an easy read. Pollan has done all the work of connecting ideas and following thoughts to their many logical conclusions. He is one of the most curious, thoughtful and empathetic writers I have ever read. Now buy this book.
