The Omnivore's Dilemma

A Natural History Of Four Meals

BY MICHAEL POLLAN

Brief Description:
This book has three parts, one for each of the food chains that sustain us: industrialized food, organic food, and food people grow or hunt themselves. Pollan follows the food chain literally from the ground up to the table, & concludes each section by sitting down to a meal--at McDonald's, at home with his family sharing a dinner from Whole Foods, and in a revolutionary farm in Virginia. He traces the provenance of everything consumed, revealing the hidden components we unwittingly ingest and explaining how our taste for particular foods reflects our environmental and biological inheritance.
