review 1: I'd have given this three stars because most of the info in this essay was old-hat to someone who regularly reads Bittman and vaguely follows food politics issues. However, I feel it was redeemed by the fact that this essay gave a wonderful overview of these matters, perfectly suited for the lay-person who doesn't actively follow this stuff. And because these topics are so important to individual health as well as the health of our communities, I just can't begrudge the article that.I'm happy I read it, even for a refresher, and recommended you do as well.
review 2: Nothing new here; which is unfortunate. I loved Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma, one of the first books to really open my eyes and inspire me on the issue of the American food industry (whic... moreh, if you don't already know, IS BAD). Mark Bittman's another well-known soldier in this fight, and so I'm immediately interested in whatever he has to say about Big Food. This slim volume was a bit of a let-down though: he mostly lists well-known truths such as "eating in saves money and is good for your health". Well... duh. The best bit is probably the handful of recipes in the back; I love Bittman recipes, devoid as they are of measurement, timing, or any scientific detail. It's all an art! these recipes seem to imply. Ah, he has such faith in us as cooks/would-be-food-ruiners! less
