<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Brief summary: The author became a "food detective" when he realized that he did not really know where his food came from. This book looks "behind the curtain of the modern American food chain" (Pollan, 1). More specifically, the books explores four food chains: industrial, industrial organic, local sustainable, and hunter-gatherer.

Corn became "King of the supermarket" because throughout history it adapted so well to human needs. The author aimed to understand why corn is in everything and if that is a good or bad thing. In this section of the book (chapters 1-9) he will trace the so-called industrial food chain.

It had a lot of facts and figures about farms, and how there is fewer and fewer amounts of farms and jobs on farms in the world now. It talks about all the different types of corn that is grown on farms now, including gentically modified corn, and hybrid corn. Gentically modified corn, and hybrid corn grow much better then regular corn which is why more and more farmers are growing it. The only problem with it though is that companys have to make the seeds, so now the farmers have to buy new seeds every year.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Summary: From Farm to Factory is about how agribusiness's make huge profits of what farmers produce. Farmers don't make enough to pay their bills. Now the law is that the government will pay you for all the corn you grow which makes corn prices decrease. The law used to be that the price of corn won't get to high for the customer and not to low for the farmer so that the farmer could have a stable income. It was also about fertilizers and what farmers use in order for their crops to grow.

For instance in this chapter they talked about the different types of corn and how they are used. Number 2 field corn is used in, high fructose corn syrup, beef, chicken ect. This chapter also discussed where most of the corn grown goes. Most of the corn grown is used for animal feed, high fructose syrup fuel and some of it is exported. This chapter also touched on the cycle of corn and the river of corn.

It is about how cows are being force fed corn. It is about how the people who run the feedlots don't care about the cows and only care about the cost of it. Cows really aren't meant to eat corn. They are one of the few animals who have a rumen and can digest grass. They are meant to eat grass and live in nicer conditions. They do not have good conditions and have to live in their own manure. This chapter proved that corn is really in everything we eat...even our meat!

It explained some of the things like twinkies and other snack food are really corn. I was surprised that the people don't want us to know how the food is because then people wouldn't want to eat it. I think we deserve to know how our food is made.

It also talks about how the cheapest food available at grocery stores is fatty, high in calories, and yes, you guessed it, contains corn. In addition to that it includes information on how food chains convince us to eat more and how quickly it has affected the nation's population.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Summary of chapters 8 and 9: Because of the humans ability to eat anything, the fast food industry has found out that by inducing fats they can make us eat more of certin foods, therby inventing supersising, or large size. Because of all the different types of food, america does not have a "cultural food" so we import food from other cultures, food that we can not make the most of. For example, in Japan, people eat sushi with wasabi, because wasbi kills bacteria. Because we have no cultral food, we do not know the other igrediants that would greatly improve our food. Also, American food is now more about convinence, (as in one handed food like the cheeseburger and chicken nugget) and not about flavor and health.

To have organic foods, you need to use natural resources. To do this you can't use many fertilizers or pesticides, so you need to do a lot of extra work to keep your plants healthy. But even if the food is organic, in a way it isn't. It goes to the same place as other food, and you still need packaging. This is what the chapter is all about.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Polyunsaturated fats- A essential fatty acid that's very important for human health. Pasture animals have more Polyunsaturated fats instead Monounsaturated fats.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Monounsaturated fats- monounsaturated fats are fats that have one double-bonded (unsaturated) carbon in the molecule. Monounsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature but start to turn solid when chilled. Olive oil is an example of a type of oil that contains monounsaturated fats

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Omega 3- A kind of fatty acid that is important for the growth of brain cells and other neurons. Made in plants and leaves

Monounsaturated fats contain one double bond in their structures. On the other hand, polyunsaturated fats contain two or more double bonds in their structure.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Summary- <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In Chapter 22 'The perfect meal',Michael Pollan talks about how he made a meal out of food that was all hunted, gathered, or grown by him. I think that one of the main points of the chapter is that unlike many other meals, every item in his hunted, gathered, or grown meal has a story. And that is the story that the people who are at the table had lived.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">*OUR VOCAB: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Vegetarian- someone who does not eat parts of an animal, they will eat things that come from animals, like milk, but they won't eat a body part of an animal. = importance: Many of the people who read this book changed to vegetarian after they finished.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Voting with your fork- voting with your fork is changing your eating habits and making the decision to either eat healthy local food or processed food. = importance: this is pretty much what the whole chapter is about and it is really what a lot of the book is about, making the right decision on what to put on your plate.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Visionary farmers : Are farmers who believe that the best farming is done by gardening and ORGANIC. They are pretty much just organic farmers, real organic farmers. They sell there food locally. = importance: without visionary farmers there wouldn't be

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Visionary consumers : are people who buy local and organic food and support the visionary farmers. =importance: without visionary consumers there is no one to support the visionary farmers.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Consumer: someone who buys food (or anything) and uses it (or wastes it) Isn't a good or bad thing. = if there weren't consumers then, everyone would have to hunt, and we don't want to do that.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">CSA : community supported agriculture is an organization that if you pay a few hundred dollars a year then the local farms will give you a box of weekly produce. =importance: it's a great easy way to get local healthy food and support the produce farms, plus its often cheaper then buying produce. It's a good thing to get you to eat more produce.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">*SUMMARY: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In the afterword it talks about the importance of making the right decision. The decision to buy and eat the right healthy foods can be up to you. If you try you can really make a difference in what you eat. Whenever you sit down for a meal you have the decision to either be healthy or not...or somewhere in between. I think that this chapter was mostly saying, the decision is up to you, so make the right one.

It explained "What Now?" and just straight forward said how we should pick the food we eat. I think this was an important part of the book, so it was ended in a nice way. It's good for people who really want to try eating healthier and got something from this book.
