The Omnivore s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
by: Michael Pollan


Editorial Review:

A national bestseller that has changed the way readers view the ecology of eating, this revolutionary book by award winner Michael Pollan asks the seemingly simple question: What should we have for dinner? Tracing from source to table each of the food chains that sustain us-- whether industrial or organic, alternative or processed--he develops a portrait of the American way of eating. The result is a sweeping, surprising exploration of the hungers that have shaped our evolution, and of the profound implications our food choices have for the health of our species and the future of our planet.

A must read for any eater:

Highly recommended. You will find out some things that are very dismaying, but it also provides the impetus for changing diet and exploring better, more ethical, more healthy options. It certainly has made a Farmer's Market shopper out of me. A must read for anyone eating in 2010.

The truth is out there:

How long until the 'Corn Famine' begins?:

This is the third book I've read Michael Pollan; it's my favorite, so far. Such a fascinating discussion about food - our relationship with it, the way we as a society try to regulate it for ourselves and others, and our need to turn a blind eye or have a stiff upper lip every time we go to the grocery store. Wondering how long until the 'Corn Famine' begins ...

Loved, loved, LOVED this book!:

There are no words to describe how much I enjoyed this book! Pollan makes learning about our many food systems fun and interesting. I never thought I would enjoy reading about the origins of meat, giving that I have been a vegetarian for most of my life. Now I know what to tell people when they ask me why I don't eat at McDonald's or why I choose to be a vegetarian. Bravo Michael!
