Tamra When my books are out of bins & boxes again, I‘ll try to remember to tag you in a post with the fermentation books I have accumulated. 🙂 10mo

Lcsmcat @Tamra Thanks! That would be great. Have you tried the yogurt yet? 10mo

Tamra @Lcsmcat no, the house is all disordered with floor installation. Discombobulated, noisy, and dusty. 🫤 I want to after we return from our camping trip next week. 10mo

Lcsmcat @Tamra It‘s so hard to live through renovations! I hope they finish soon and that your trip is fun and relaxing. 10mo

I really respect the opinions and information Mark Bittman shares in his cookbooks, articles and nonfiction titles. I‘ve read How to Eat by the author earlier this year and have tried to take the advice therein with my own eating habits and to a (sadly) lesser extent my family as well. This book is less advice on how/what to eat and more of a historical, political, cultural exploration of how we got to where we are with the American diet. Great!

so-so

I liked the second half of this book a lot, even if I didn‘t feel like I learned much that was new to me. It was still a good overview of how messed up the US food system is, and how negatively it‘s impacted the rest of the world. The first half was a bit dense and read like a history textbook. Overall it felt a bit long, but Bittman‘s narration on the audiobook was good (even at 1.5x speed!).

Easy to read (simple) and interesting so far, can't vouch for the accuracy but it sounds legit 😆 I also like the references to other authors and their works #nonfiction #food #history

Been meaning to pick this book up for a while now!! And since someone bought The Fix, figured I'd start it now. I'm only just finishing up the introduction but I like it so far, let's see if it can keep my attention #nonfiction #food #history

While I disagree with the author on some issues, mainly about the healthiness of carbs (processed or natural) and whether the agricultural revolution was the biggest mistake in human history (it wasn't in my opinion), I found this book very informative and it enlightened me on several issues I did not know about concerning sustainable farming. 3 👨‍🌾👨‍🌾👨‍🌾 1/2
