He writes a fairly in depth description of both the eating and origin of
four meals:

--fast food (Mc Donald's)
--factory food (most supermarket food)
--organic and quasi-organic food farming
--a hunter-gatherer meal, mostly wild food, picked in the wild

I especially enjoyed the third section when he visited a self-sufficient
farming.

I had never thought about the origin of food except in the abstract.
Pollan's writing made it much more real.

We were on a business/vacation trip to Sweden when I read it and I
talked about it with an organic dairy farmer in Gotland who had met
Pollan and enjoyed the experience and his outlook. I'm sending him the
book.
