Customer Reviews

Very important book, but Dated

This book is extremely well written... the only negative about it is that all the information is from the 1970s. George explains aspects of agribuisiness that every person should be aware of. everyone should read this book. the info is solid, and very compelling. George explains that it takes 20 pounds of grain to produce one pound of beef, she lays out the extreme economic and nutritional inefficiency of the way we buy and eat food in developed countires.

REQUIRED READING IN COLLEGE - EYE OPENER

I read this book nearly ten years ago, but it was a wonderful eye-opener, very easy to read, interesting discussions ensued.

This book helped me develop my worldview

I don't remember anything specific about the book, having read it nearly twenty years ago, but I remember that I was especially taken by the poem at the book's beginning. No doubt the book's information is dated, but it was well and passionately written.
