Yeah, I did see a sort of hack little book of his in Barnes and Noble the other day. It's called something like 'how to eat' or 'what to eat' it has about 90 pages of instructions that are lifted word for word in parts from In Defence at least, and probably other books of his. I thought it was kind of funny. More power to him for that book, because people who buy 90 pages of 'what to eat' probably aren't going to hang out for 300 other pages on why and how and when.
But I didn't know that about Omnivore. I'll avoid that one since I plan on reading the others anyway.
