The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan
What should we have for dinner? Michael Pollan confronts us with this seemingly simple question in The Omnivore’s Dilemma, his brilliant and eye-opening exploration of our food choices, and demonstrates that how we answer it today may determine not only our health, but also our survival as a species. Bringing wide attention to the little-known but vitally important dimensions of food and agriculture in America, Pollan launches a national conversation about what we eat and the profound consequences that even the simplest everyday food choices have on both ourselves and the natural world.
Topics in this book include diet, health, agriculture, and food safety.
