The Omnivore's Dilemma
Category: Books, Music & Video
Product Description:
With a straightforward, elegant examination of the agricultural origins of four meals from three different pathways, Michael Pollan, bestselling author of THE BOTANY OF DESIRE, explores how Americans eat. According to Pollan, a lack of cultural cohesion and lengthy history surrounding how and what to eat has caused a national eating disorder. Tracing the mind-boggling path of corn from seed to plate, Pollen analyzes industrial agriculture after considering the contents of a fast food meal. Then he looks at the pastoral ( organic ) food chain by working on a small Virginia farm. Finally, he investigates the hunter-gatherer lifestyle by foraging and hunting, to turn out a meal directly from the original sources of what we eat. His book is a tour de force.
