Haven't had this much fun reading a book in ages. Couldn't put it down. Put off reading it for a long time since everyone just talked about all the 80s references and I figured I'd need to get them to enjoy the book, but that definitely wasn't the case.

A great follow-up to The Omnivore's Dilemma. This book moves on from that one's coverage of how food is produced to ask the question "What should we be eating?" and comes away with a deceptively simple answer: "Food. Not too much.

Ask yourself how much time in the past week you actually spent really thinking about, enjoying, or making food. If the answer is less than a few hours, pick this book up and find out what you're missing.
