After reading the first couple of chapters assigned for class, I was not entirely sure of what I thought of Pollan and his way of presenting information. After ready chapters 16 and 17 however, my view of Pollan changed. In those chapters Pollan shows that he is able to look at different concerns from various view points. Not only did you acknowledge that he was a meat eater, but he then searched out another option and tried to look at what questions could be asked of those that are vegetarian. I thought that this was a very thorough job and the fact the he himself even tried out the vegetarian life made me look at his assertions in a more positive light. The questions that he raises are questions I would not have necessarily thought of if I was trying to think up reasons to eat/not eat meat and because of that, it gave me a better idea of why people think the way they do about the eating animals dilemma.
