Part one is Industrial/Corn, it describes how corn is the most important ingredient in the industrial food chain, while the second part, Pastoral/Grass talks about organic farming. The last part is on Personal/The Forest, here Mr. Pollan is describing to his readers how he could make a meal out of whatever he could grow, hunt, or gather himself. This document gives a book review only on the first section. Michael Pollan shows us how hard it is to actually choose what we eat given that nature itself has a lot to offer. Nevertheless, if we studied the American industry, we would find that there is one basic ingredient that seems to be in just about everything: - corn.

Once they no longer had to travel to find food they built permanent villages and focused their energy on many different activities. Slowly some cultures grew complex and became civilizations.

Some lived there happily while others questioned the laws and beliefs of their own leaders and ran away to find their own countries, which had their own specialties (examples are: New England colonies were good with manufacturing and fishing and the Middle colonies were good at farming. There were many other reasons that people moved to America.
Norman Lear think that where the greatest impact on the culture might have been, in other times, the church, education, the family, the greatest impact now is business. Everywhere one looks, it seems to me that short-term thinking in business is the greatest impact on our culture.
