"The Omnivore's Dillemma"

     When I read the first few pages of the book “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” by Michale Pollan, I thought it was very interesting. But after a few pages more, I felt this book was just not so interesting. This book contained so much information that we do not know. Before I read this book I was kind of a carnivore; I love to eat meat and did not want to eat veggies. However, when I read through this book I was shocked. I never thought about how food and meat are processed, but now I am trying to avoid fast food. Also, I was shocked that organic industries exist because I thought all” Organic Food” was from personal farms. I went to KFC last week and I enjoyed the meat but it suddenly occurred to me how the chicken was processed, so I stopped eating. However, I do not want to avoid eating meat because I do not think all meats are harmful.

 

    The book “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” is a very thoughtful book. I learned so much information about food from this book. It was a little unfamiliar at first, because this book was my first book about food. But I think this book tells us not just about the problems with food; it tells us about our society’s problems. I already recommended this book to my friends and if I the chance, I want to strongly recommend this book to other people.    

     Nowadays, many people are enthusiastic about being vegetarian because of their health and the environment. I understand that the killing of animals for our happy meal is not understandable. However, most animals are edible. They are grown to be eaten, so I think this is not an immoral thing. I do not want to support the carnivores, vegetarians, or Omnivores, because all they have individual tastes.

     I learned many things from this book and am very happy I read it. This was a good time to look at my eating habits. Therefore, I think it is memorable and I highly recommended this book.
