A New York Times bestseller that has changed the
way readers view the ecology of eating, this revolutionary
book by award winner Michael Pollan 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-
he develops a portrait of the American way of eating. The
result is a sweeping, surprising exploration of the
hungers that have shaped our evolution, and of the
profound implications our food choices have for the health
of our species and the future of our planet.
