The Omnivore's Dilemma

Have you ever thought about where your food comes from? In 'The Omnivore's Dilemma', Michael Pollan explores the origins of four meals: a fast food meal, an organic meal, a meal he prepares himself from food he hunts, and finally, a meal made up entirely of food he has foraged. Pollan delves into the ecological and anthropological factors that have contributed to our current food system, from industrialized agriculture to the mass production of processed foods. He draws attention to the responsibilities of everyday consumers in protecting not only their own health, but also the environment. With clarity and insight, Pollan invites readers on a journey of discovery that changes the way we think about what we eat and why we eat it.
