County Library: Non-Fiction

The Omnivore's Dilemma

by Michael Pollan

This was a fascinating book. I learned all about the food industry in America--what it's really like to be a farmer, how far my food has traveled to get to me, and how many unseen factors affect the nutritional value of my food. You'll never look at your dinner the same way again!

(this is just an unfunny joke)

"you will never look at your food the same way again"

do you mean that if we usually smaile at our food we will now frown at it?

HA HA HA

Does "You will never look at your dinner the same way again" mean good? Or bad? Or how about amazing?

I think it means you will know stuff about it you never knew before, and see it as something so much more cool and fascinating than...  food.
