ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan, the fundamental question of what we should eat for dinner is explored in depth. Pollan follows three principal food chains that sustain us today: industrial, organic, and hunter-gatherer, tracing them from their origins to our plates. The book examines the natural history of these meals, looking at the getting and eating of food as a transaction between species. This journey reveals the surprising political, economic, psychological, and moral implications of our everyday food choices, impacting not only our health but also the environment.
