  • These four episodes are more like meditations on a particular theme. In this episode Pollan explores bread making and other food culture history.

    I read Pollans' book 'The Omnivores Dilemma' back in 2006 which contained some of the research on theses topics. For regular readers who interpret the content based against the food choices they already have the possibility of being more informed is a good one.

    We live in a fast food culture and given how much of what we eat contributes to our health - or not; any exploration of food choices is a good one. I personally enjoyed all of the 4 shows in the series.

    This series was filmed in 2015 and it seems like some of the thinking from the earlier books has been more measured and is delivered at an easy pace. Having Alex Gibney on the team no doubt helps that.
