The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

What a powerful tool the knowledge in this book is. How many of us have really ever considered where our food comes from, what is in it, and who we are allowing to determine what is “good” to eat and what isn't? I had just begun to explore these questions when I picked up a copy of this book. After reading it, I definitely have a better understanding of exactly what goes into (or doesn't go into) our “standard” fast food meal along with pretty much any processed food you find in every grocery store. I am very much moved towards the idea that being extremely conscious of anything we put into our bodies as nourishment is of the utmost importance.

I don't think I will ever be able to look at a supermarket, or fast food restaurant the same way every again. Which is definitely in my best interest, along with the interests of my family.

Here's to hoping that the information I've acquired from this book will help me change my ideas, and my family's ideas of what “good” food is, and what we all choose to eat.
