The Omnivore’s Dilemma

A Natural History of Four Meals

Overview

From the publisher

In this groundbreaking book, Pollan turns his own omnivorous mind to the seemingly straightforward question of what we should have for dinner. To find out, he follows each of the food chains that sustain us — industrial food, organic or alternative food, and food we forage ourselves — from the source to a final meal, and in the process develops a definitive account of the American way of eating.
