Michael Pollan's environmental discourse focuses on the food industry. In an Environmental Justice class I took at Lake Forest my favorite book we read was "My Year of Meats" by Ruth Ozeki. The book revolved around Jane,a TV producer, that was directed to make a cooking show that would be featured in Japan. The studio wants her to focus on meats, as she begins making her show she learns a lot about what is really in beef such as the hormone DES. The book dips into a lot of serious issues such as the role of women in America and Japan, but most importantly food politics.
This book was entertaining, and a really fast and easy read. I would recommend it to anyone, but I think people that are interested in Pollan's discourse would really love this book.
