At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.
This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

outside the culture dilemma
I have to admit that I did not finish this book. I got to the part where the author talks about really feeling his he-man roots and enjoys killing an animal. From a person who grew up inside a hunting culture, I can only say that from my...

Eye Opening!
I could barely put this book down! The writing style is casual and gets a bit wordy and technical sometimes, but it's so worth it! All the information is really necessary to open our eyes about factory farms, our food supply and who's in charge of...

We can turn anything to calories, but should we?
I read this along side his new book and parts of it reminded me of a really dry Super Size Me or The Evolution Diet, but there's a good moral here: Don't let some stupid government program based on the war machine dictate what you should eat....

Bad Disks - Twice

Life Changging Read
Two Thins changed my life. The first was the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car" and the second was this book " "The Omnivore's Dilemma". I spent 2008 converting my 1999 Ford Ranger Pickup Truck to a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) as aresult of...
