Finished Omnivore's Dilemma (Michael Pollan)-- and then listened to a podcost where he spoke about Omnivore's Dilemma and his new book: In Defense of Food. Fascinating. I knew a lot of the information about the industrial food production and guessed quite a bit about the "Organics" being sold in Whole Foods (after all, how else does Whole Foods provide a perfectly consistent product from store to store and state to state), however the whole thing makes you think... And one wonders if the corn aspect in our diet has anything to do with increasing food allergies. I think it definitely is impacting weight.
Interestingly, Dad's take on the book was 100% different, maybe because what is "organic" in the very far north of Canada is much different, he's living off the land for much of his food, and he's involved in the beginning part of the food processing chain.
Pollan's premise behind his new book is interesting. I think I'm going to try to get that to read as well.
