Detailed item info

Synopsis
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.

With an intense, yet elegant, examination of the agricultural origins of four meals from three different pathways, Michael Pollan, bestselling author of THE BOTANY OF DESIRE, explores how the American diet affects the planet. Tracing the mind-boggling path of corn from seed to plate, Pollan analyzes industrial agriculture with a fast food meal in mind. Then he looks at the pastoral ("organic") food chain by working on a small Virginia farm where the attitude is dramatically different, and the meal entirely homegrown. Finally, Pollan 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 that is not only thought-provoking, but timely. Named one of the 10 Best Books of 2006 by The New York Times, as well as a 2006 Publishers Weekly Book of the Year.

Industry Reviews
"[Pollan's] supermeticulous reporting is the book's strength--you're not likely to get a better explanation of exactly where your food comes from."
(04/23/2006)

"Mr. Pollan...wants us at least to know what it is we are eating, where it came from and how it got to our table. He also wants us to be aware of the choices we make and to take responsibility for them. It's an admirable goal, well met in THE OMNIVORE'S DILEMMA."
