I think that this was just the wrong kind of food book for me to read. I am more of a "live to eat" type person and this is definitely a "eat to live" kind of book. Each chapter in this book covers a different food: bottled water, seafood, baby food, etc and the author talks about the environmental and health benefits/drawbacks. I found the coverage spotty and the organization confusing - some information is repeated over and over while some stuff is never mentioned. For example - the chapter on bottled water doesn't mention the environmental impact of all those plastic bottles. Also, I found some of the author's editorializing obnoxious. Clearly a rich person living in Manhattan who assumes all of her readers are in the same boat. Some of her suggestions just aren't realistic - only buy bread baked by hand in artisan bakeries. Really? There was some useful information though - especially about things like which seafood is safe to eat. I read this book because I kind of felt like I should. I think next I'll need some MFK Fisher to detox - now THAT's my kind of food writing. :)
