The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan
"Outstanding . . . a wide-ranging invitation to think through the moral ramifications of our eating habits." --The New YorkerOne of the New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the Year and Winner of the James Beard Award
Author of This is Your Mind on Plants, How to Change Your Mind and the #1 New York Times Bestseller In Defense of Food and Food Rules
What should we have for dinner? Ten years ago, Michael Pollan confronted us with this seemingly simple question and, with The Omnivore's Dilemma, 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, The Omnivore's Dilemma continues to transform the way Americans think about the politics, perils, and pleasures of eating.
Michael Pollan is the author of seven previous New York Times best-selling books, including Cooked, Food Rules, In Defense of Food, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and The Botany of Desire. He's also the author of Caffeine: How Caffeine Built the Modern World, an audiobook. He teaches writing at Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley, and is a longtime writer to the New York Times Magazine. He was named one of the world's one hundred most important persons by TIME magazine in 2010.
