The Omnivore's Dilemma A Natural History of Four Meals

<b>"Outstanding . . . a wide-ranging invitation to think through the moral ramifications of our eating habits." —<i>The New Yorker</i><br><br>One of the <i>New York Times Book Review's </i>Ten Best Books of the Year and Winner of the James Beard Award <br><br>Author of <i>This is Your Mind on Plants, How to Change Your Mind </i>and the #1 <i>New York Times</i> Bestseller <i>In Defense of Food </i>and <i>Food Rules</i></b><br><br>What should we have for dinner? Ten years ago, Michael Pollan confronted us with this seemingly simple question and, with <i>The Omnivore’s Dilemma, </i>his brilliant and eye-opening exploration of our food choices, demonstrated that how we answer it today may determine not only our health but our survival as a species. In the years since, Pollan’s revolutionary examination has changed the way Americans think about food. Bringing wide attention to the little-known but vitally important dimensions of food and agriculture in America, Pollan launched 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. Ten years later, <i>The Omnivore’s Dilemma</i> continues to transform the way Americans think about the politics, perils, and pleasures of eating.
