FOooodd
Finished The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan yesterday. I read it for geography class, but a lot of the stuff we've actually been discussing in my environmental ethics class, so it was fun to link all that together. I think this book would be a lot more shocking to me if I hadn't already read a relatively stupid amount of things about being a conscious consumer and all that, and I hope it's opened a lot of people's eyes and changed lives. I've been a lot more aware of processed foods since reading it, and curious about industrial organic farming (more wary of "organic" food). It was just a really interesting book in general. I especially enjoyed the third part of it, which involved foraging and all that, which is like my favorite thing ever now. My writing skills are a little bit off today, so yeah the end.
