The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan

Where do the foods we eat? What are we really eating? Michael Pollan decides to improvise "food detective" to learn about the evolution and the secrets hidden behind what we eat, from seed to fruit, from the history of "food with a face" the processed meat and anatomically unrecognizable. Thus began a quest that takes him to know different realities, from industrial production to that of the direct producer. Fast food restaurants, supermarkets, factories, slaughterhouses and small farms will become the land of his relentless march toward awareness. In this journey of discovery but also uncertainty, Pollan will face many experiences that will test, and compromises will have to fight, must stretch their character and learn to hunt and kill for food. But in the end find himself the way for a different relationship with mother nature and will be able to choose how to buy, cook and eat. His research concludes with a four-course menu where he eventually what is in the pot is no longer a dilemma but the story just told.

Review:
I never thought that a book like that could lure me to the point of starting to leaf out of curiosity yesterday afternoon and found myself eagerly reading to the end without interruptions ... Pollan has done a proper research on the origin of food (and destination) are not limited to stand in front of a PC or an encyclopedia to gather information about it, but going there, often they also work on site and following all the processes it takes to get there, for example, the meat on our table.
And at times the reader will shudder thinking about how animals are raised, what is put in and on foods to preserve them, and if the idea of \u200b\u200borganic farming could attract ... Well, it will also discouraged about it! For Italian readers like me, there are some things that I felt out of my field but at the same time I felt a strong risk of Americanization also in food. Perhaps this book should be popular in schools (and not just American ones): If you raise awareness for children, it will be easier to get even for adults.

Thank you for telling sent through the joints and giving me the opportunity to read and ... not to remain ignorant about certain mechanisms!
