The Omnivore's Dilemma

I just finished reading a book called The Omnivore's Dilemma The Secrets Behind What You Eat by Michael Pollan. The book is about where our food comes from.

There are lots of interesting facts in this book like how non organic potatoes are grown with a pesticide so toxic to our nervous system that no one is allowed in the field for 5 days after its sprayed then after the harvest the potatoes have to be stored for 6 months so the chemicals wear off before they are safe to eat. The book explains how a lot of our food is made with corn. You think there is lots of variety of food but it's mostly corn. For example corn is in Cheez Whiz, frozen yogurt, tv dinners, canned fruits, ketchup, candy, hot dogs, salad dressing, and cake mix. The industrial farms are feeding there cattle corn instead of grass and that's making the cows sick and diseased and they can pass bad bacteria to us like e. coli which can kill people.

I would recommend reading this book for people that want to know where their food comes from and how to make better choices about what we eat.
