The sum total of notes my this book read "this book was pointless...."

This book gives a great perspective on the food and sickness industries.. woah.. a great read if you don't know the economics on many of today's social problems: especially healthcare (i.e. obesity, diabetes, etc.). Pilser has a very unique perspective that I think is right on the money. and time will prove him right.

I have to say, unfortunately, I didn't really like this book.
First of all, it's pretty outdated. Secondly, most ideas are only viable within the US. And thirdly, Paul Pilzer uses God a couple of times as an ultimate argument, which is quite unnecessary.
I don't recommend it.
