Reviews

[Rachel]

This book took me a lot longer to read than I wanted it to, but I am SO glad I finished it. Despite it being written 20 years ago, it is still so relevant. I love the idea of the Omnivore's Dilemma, what should we eat and how do we know? It highlighted so many important considerations - what is organic, how do we eat (on the run, in the car, with our family), how does our upbringing or culture impact what / how we eat. Where do our ethical feelings about food lie. Great discussion book, great choice for a community read.

I accidentally picked up the Young Reader's Edition of this classic, and did not regret it. This is a balanced, consumer's-eye view of the various systems via which we can get our food, that makes environmentally responsible recommendations, and acknowledges that our choices are individual and made for complex reasons.

[Melissa]

So rich and full of information that we all need to be aware of. How our food is grown and handled and what we really are being sold in the end. A hard read but glad I did. With knowledge we have power and can improve life for those ahead of us.

[David Stroud]

Just plain good book.
If you are into MAHA, or not. This is a good book to understand more about food.

Really eye opening, I read this very quick even though I thought it would take me forever to read. I would 100% recommend everyone read it!
