What's for dinner...again?
As Micheal Pollan points out, humans are unique to the proverbial question of what we have for dinner. "The Omnivore's Dilemma: A natural history of 4 meals" by Michael Pollan is my latest before bed book. It's not the most relaxing read but it is quite compelling and fascinating. He basically breaks down the development of food from the industrial to the organic to alternative food to actually foraging it in the days of the hunter-gatherer. Quite an interesting spin and the first section on how corn or Zea Mays is the most common constituent to what we eat makes you think twice...are we 99% corn? It's a commentary of many thoughts, social, political, historical. Your dinner will never look the same.
