The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History Of Four Meals

by Michael Pollan

Thorndike Press | October 1, 2006 | Hardcover

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.

Omnivore's Dilemma - catchy title, but after reading this book, there doesn't seem to be any dilemma. The choice is clear.

This book is very well written, well-researched. Pollan has a great vocabulary, prompting a frequent use of the dictionary, but the message couldn't be any clearer. Our food chain is made complex by government policies, business decisions, economics, and history, and it obscures our vision of what it is exactly that we eat. Pollan's book challenges the reader to find a simpler, cleaner, more environmentally friendly, animal-friendly, healthy source of food. Personally I am a changed consumer. I hardly could imagine anyone who reads this book not to embrace its message.
