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

This national bestseller has changed the way readers view the ecology of eating and asks the seemingly simple question: What should we have for dinner? Tracing from source to table each of the food chains that sustain us - whether industrial or organic, alternative or processed - Pollan develops a portrait of the American way of eating.

A brilliant, eye-opening account of how we produce, market, and agonize over what we eat. (The Seattle Times)

An eater's manifesto . . . [Pollan's] cause is just, his thinking is clear, and his writing is compelling. Be careful of your dinner! (The Washington Post)

Thoughtful, engrossing . . . You're not likely to get a better explanation of exactly where your food comes from. (The New York Times Book Review)

Michael Pollan has perfected a tone-one of gleeful irony and barely suppressed outrage-and a way of inserting himself into a narrative so that a subject comes alive through what he's feeling and thinking. He is a master at drawing back to reveal the greater issues. (Los Angeles Times)

If you ever thought 'what's for dinner' was a simple question, you'll change your mind after reading Pollan's searing indictment of today's food industry-and his glimpse of some inspiring alternatives. . . . I just loved this book so much I didn't want it to end. (The Seattle Times)
