Michael Pollen What should we have for dinner? This is the question that Michael Pollen strives to answer in this fascinating book that was selected as one of the ten best books of the year by both the New York Times and the Washington Post. Not only is the information in the book important, it is written in a style that I enjoyed as much as my favorite fiction. Everyone should read this and think about how to support sustainable agriculture (and the world) by eating locally.http://www.michaelpollan.com/index.htm
