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.

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)
