The Omnivore's Dilemma is a groundbreaking book in which one of America's most fascinating, original, and elegant writers turns his own omnivorous mind to the seemingly straightforward question of what we should have for dinner. The question has confronted us since man discovered fire, but according to Michael Pollan, the best-selling author of the Botany of Desire, how we answer it today, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, may well determine our very own survival as a species. Should we eat a fast-food hamburger? Something organic? Or perhaps something we hunt, gather, or grow ourselves? To find out, Pollan follows each of the food chains that sustain us, industrial food, organic or alternative food, and food we forage ourselves, from source to a final meal, and in the process develops a definitive account of the American way of eating.
