Synopsis

What should we have for dinner? Michael Pollan confronts this seemingly simple question, demonstrating that our food choices determine not only our health but our survival as a species. This revolutionary examination has changed the way Americans think about food, launching a national conversation about what we eat and the profound consequences of everyday food choices on ourselves and the natural world. The Omnivore’s Dilemma continues to transform how Americans think about the politics, perils, and pleasures of eating.
