The book Breakfast of Biodiversity was very informative in that it had a lot of facts, but I don’t think that it is the type of book I would just pick up to read by choice. It is nice that the book is not very biased in its opinions.
I was really happy that they made a point of noting the detrimental effects that can come from the fact that we ignore how our rainforest is deteriorating. I have been aware of this going on for a while but I think it is something that needs to be addressed. Tropical rain forests cover only about 7% of the earth’s surface but are home to more than half of all the plant and animal species of the world. They are also home to a large percentage of the plants used to make medicine.
I also enjoyed the part about the bananas because that information was totally new to me. I had no idea that something that we enjoy so much and that appears to be so good for us can be so bad on the other hand. I just can’t believe that the government of Costa Rica lets that go on.
