My fear with any books offering detailed knowledge on a specific subject is that the information presented will be slanted towards the authors opinion. I was happily impressed that Michael Pollan avoiding putting his personal bias on the information he was providing. That's not to say that he didn't offer his opinion, but he reserved it until he laid out the facts. This style allows you to make up your own mind rather than allowing the author to warp your perception to match theirs. This book provided me with eye opening information about the industrial food chain, as well as the slow food movement and even hunting and gathering. The only thing I felt was missing was a lengthier conclusion, offering the author's final opinion after researching and eating his three meals.
