Omnivore's Dilemma: Young Readers' Edition Chapters 21
Precis: Mushroom hunting is much harder than one would think. The reson for this is because mushrooms have it's own seasons for sprouting and only sprout under some trees. The reason hunters call it mushroom hunting is because they must don't simply pick out a bunch of mushrooms rather they must go and search for some and some mushrooms may be poisonous and cannot be eaten. Also while hunting for mushrooms alot of questions had popped up that not even scientists knew. Later I had found out that mushrooms are really hard to abalyze because if you pull a mushroom from the ground parts of the mushroom will just fall off from the mushroom.
Quote: On page 252, "These thin, threadlike cells form a web buried in the soil. You can't dig it up a mushroom to study it because the mycelium is too tiny and delicate. If you try to seperate them from the soil they just fall apart.
Thoughts: Mushrooms seem to have more to them than meets the eye. I wonder what the differences are between a regular mushroom and a poisonous mushroom are, because some people have gotten the two mixed up before.

Precis: Preparing a "perfect meal was harder than expected. Making foods that are healthier and better for the body to ingest is much harder than just eating a cheeseburger. However I was not about to prepare these fast foods because i was inviting all the people that has helped me along my advanture to eat with me. It was a way of saying thank you to all of the people that has helped me with research. Also even thought some of the foods were made from animals such as pigs, I made sure that it was helthier for us to eat. (organic)
Quote: On page 275, "One of the wonders of my do-it-yourself meal was how little it had damaged the world."
Thoughts: It appears that the narrator has changed his view food. It appears as if he now cares more about what foods he eats and he will not eat certain foods that he might had eaten if he had not gone through this advanture.
