Anyone else read this one?  I thought it was interesting and I agreed with most of it.  She gets a bit too extreme for me at times but overall I thought it was a wake up call that we should be paying attention to what's in our food supply and how those things affect our bodies and our health.

She really talked about how the processing of our food and the chemicals we put in our body affect our metabolism.  So, if you eat a lot of something, go organic with it.  For me, that is salad mix.  The organic salad mix is not that much more than the non-organic, so that was an easy fix for me.  I don't drink a lot of milk, but if I did I'd switch to the kind where the cows are not given hormones.

That's interesting.  Michael Pollan's thing is to eat real food, food that will break down and rot (unlike, say Twinkies!).  Sounds similar yet from very different perspectives.

Yes, I think you're right.  Her big push is to eat whole foods that are not chemically treated.  She ties it to specific metabolic activities, but the idea is the same.

Michael Pollan was on Oprah this week.  Really good interview.  They showed the audience the movie Food, Inc. and then she interviewed him.  I thought he did a great job of saying that if we figured out how to engineeer our animals we can certainly figure out how to provide affordable fresh food.  He's right!

I enjoy his books but have never heard him speak - sounds like he's a good speaker, too!

DD is reading the "young reader's" edition of The Omnivore's Dilemma and really taking some of it to heart.  She is very aware now of corn showing up everywhere in food, and factory farming of animals.

I almost bought the kindle version of this last week and then changed my mind at the last minute.   I think I ought to see if the library has it!
