The Omnivore’s Dilemma : A Natural History Of Four Meals

  • The Omnivore's Dilemma : A Natural History Of Four Meals

  • Attribution

    Michael Pollan

  • Publication Details

    Book, Penguin Press, 2006

  • Description

    The bestselling author of The Botany of Desire explores the ecology of eating to unveil why we consume what we consume in the twenty-first century “What should we have for dinner?” Pollan has divided The Omnivore’s Dilemma into three parts, one for each of the food chains that sustain us: industrialized food, alternative or “organic” food, and food people obtain by dint of their own hunting, gathering, or gardening. A society of voracious and increasingly confused omnivores, we are just beginning to recognize the profound consequences of the simplest everyday food choices, both for ourselves and for the natural world.
