What should we have for dinner? When you can eat just about anything nature (or the supermarket) has to offer, deciding what you should eat will inevitably stir anxiety, especially when some of the foods might shorten your life. Today, buffeted by one food fad after another, America is suffering from a national eating disorder. As the cornucopia of the modern American supermarket and fast food outlet confronts us with a bewildering and treacherous landscape, what's at stake becomes not only our own and our children's health, but the health of the environment that sustains life on earth. Pollan follows each of the food chains--industrial food, organic or alternative food, and food we forage ourselves--from the source to the final meal, always emphasizing our coevolutionary relationship with the handful of plant and animal species we depend on. The surprising answers Pollan offers have profound political, economic, psychological, and even moral implications for all of us.--From publisher description. Minimize

Product Description

 
What should we have for dinner? When you can eat just about anything nature (or the supermarket) has to offer, deciding what you should eat will inevitably stir anxiety, especially when some of the foods might shorten your life. Today, buffeted by one food fad after another, America is suffering from a national eating disorder. As the cornucopia of the modern American supermarket and fast food outlet confronts us with a bewildering and treacherous landscape, what's at stake becomes not only our own and our children's health, but the health of the environment that sustains life on earth. Pollan follows each of the food chains--industrial food, organic or alternative food, and food we forage ourselves--from the source to the final meal, always emphasizing our coevolutionary relationship with the handful of plant and animal species we depend on. The surprising answers Pollan offers have profound political, economic, psychological, and even moral implications for all of us.--From publisher description.

Think Globally, Eat Locally: Michael Pollan, "The Omnivore's Dilemma"

by   scmrak , top reviewer in Books at Epinions.com ,  May 27, 2007
Pros: a thought-provoking that's also eminently readable (unusual in its own right)
Cons: nope
The Bottom Line: If reading The Omnivore's Dilemma doesn't keep you out of fast food restaurants for at least a month, you need your eyes checked. It should keep you out for life.
Review: The Omnivore's Dilemma - Michael PollanIt's probably fitting that during the several weeks I spent reading Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma in fits and snatches, I kept an advertisement for some bold new ...
Author's Rating: 5/5 stars  
 

Your head will explode after reading this book

by   biscuitfarmer ,  Mar 18, 2007
Pros: Excellent read, lots of good information, thought provoking
Cons: somewhat scary once you realize just what you are consuming.
The Bottom Line: This is one of the better, completely one sided books on the market. Great concepts that truly make you think about what you eat.
Review: I have always been a somewhat healthy eater. This isn't as much because I really wanted to ensure that everything I consumed was good for me as much as I really just enjoyed the consumption of fruits and vegetables. As I don't really enjoy eating ...
