I have been meaning to read this book for ages, but initially I was disappointed. The beginning of the book is dry and very focused on corn, in fact the first 60% of the book is focused in the intensive farming industry focused around corn. I found it hard to relate to this part of the book as it seems more specific for the farming industry in the USA. The book then looks at grass farming, which is more interesting, but again, very specific to the US, because Europe mostly still grazes cattle. The last part of the book I certainly enjoyed the most, it looked at hunting wild game and foraging for mushrooms. This last section flowed better and really came alive, but it feels like two books which have merged into one, as the first sections on corn and grass have no relation to the last section which focuses on alternative ways to produce food and make 'the perfect meal'.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in where food comes from or interested in ethical eating.
