 I am not exactly sure why this didn't save the first time I posted it - Oh say two months ago - but here we go again. I very much trust Pollan. Not only was this book recommended to me by many people I know who are interested in this type of education but also it was something I have heard about for years. Pollan introduces his arguments with the supplement of the sources in the back - a huge long list of credible places in which he found his information. Moving to style, Pollan states his arguments with such assurance and validity that his tone makes me believe what he is saying. Although he clearly has an agenda and seems to be on the more liberal side of thing, Pollan's arguments are clear, straight forward and laid out reasonably. You can logically follow them, even if they introduce new information. The combination of all of these factors leads me to believe Pollan's book is one to trust in and, in reality, I very much do.
