Weekend Reading: The Omnivore's Dilemma
Is it just me, or is everyone talking about The Omnivore's Dilemma?
Michael Pollan, author of the bestselling book The Botany of Desire, uses the book to look at four different answers to the question "What should we have for dinner?" He traces the origins of four meals - McDonalds; Whole Foods; a small, self-sustaining Virginia farm; and a "hunter-gatherer" expedition - from field to dinner plate. In the process, he looks at the causes of what he calls our "national eating disorder," and offers up some solutions.
Read the intro and first chapter of The Omnivore's Dilemma. Buy the book.
