I’m currently reading The Omnivore’s Dilemna by Michael Pollan. The book asks the question “what are we eating?” (A: corn, basically). In it, Mr Pollan traces the origins of three different types of meals – fast food, “organic” food and a huntered/gathered (yay for making up words) meal.
It’s shaping up to be a truly delightful read.
P.S. I didn’t realise the scientific name for chicken was gallus gallus. It sounds kind of silly.
