The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals - Michael Pollan

Descriere The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals - Michael Pollan

Pollan writes about the ecology of the food humans eat and why--what it is, in fact, that we are eating. Discussing industrial farming, organic food, and what it is like to hunt and gather food, this is a surprisingly honest and self-aware account of the evolution of the modern diet. \n \nOne of the New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the Year \n \nWinner of the James Beard Award \n \nAuthor of How to Change Your Mind and the #1 New York Times Bestsellers In Defense of Food and Food Rules \n \nWhat 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.\n
