Personally I think Michael Pollan is maybe the most important writer  
in America now, and while I don't expect to learn a lot of new things  
from his new book (I've already been reading too much about the  
issues he covers) I do expect to be amused and delighted by the  
elegance and humor with which he discusses the issues.  Two other  
writers Pollan fans might be interested in are Marion Nestle and Nina  
Planck.  In particular, Nestle's "Food Politics" is an in depth, if a  
little dry, examination of the how, who and why of what our  
government tells us about food and what it allows advertisers and  
producers to claim about their food products.
