I actually enjoyed this section of Pollan's book Cooked, which is kind of surprising. I especially agree with his quote on page 208, "I'd much prefer to eat a slice of fresh bread than a piece of cake." I could probably only eat bread for the rest of my life and be completely content. Bread is my favorite food.
Also, I found it interesting that bakers call pockets of air in bread alveoli, as anatomists call the pockets that hold air in the lungs alveoli as well.
I will have more to comment on after class tonight.
