Whee! I Can Read!

Go me! I finished a book!

I just finished reading The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan. He's the same guy that wrote In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto, which I highly recommend.

In Defense was an easier read but Omnivore's Dilemma was more in depth and educational. I would probably say Ominivore's Dilemma is my favorite but it's ultimately a toss up because In Defense literally changed how I eat (well, that and a corn allergy). But yeah, if you are interested in where your food comes from, I'd suggest checking both of those books out.

I've been on a bit of a food-related reading kick lately and it seems to want to continue. Right after I finished my book last night, I started a new one, also food related, but one that might give me a bit of a view of the other side of the equation (or at least a view of the middle, based on the introduction which was the only thing I read last night), Just Food: Where Locavores Get It Wrong and How We Can Truly Eat Responsibly. And while I haven't started it yet, I just picked up Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life from Costco the other day and that one looks pretty interesting. So lots of food reading going on! Such fun!

Ah, the excitement that is my life! See why I haven't been blogging much lately? Nothing going on. Well, except food-related things.
