The Omnivore’s Dilemma
“Imagine if we had a food system that actually produced wholesome food. Imagine if it produced that food in a way that restored the land. Imagine if we could eat every meal knowing these few simple things: What it is we’re eating. Where it came from. How it found its way to our table. And what it really cost.”
This is our modern classic book on the food we eat. Pollan picks apart America’s food system, examining the true impact of industrial agriculture (focusing on corn), what large and small-scale organic farming looks like, and asking if any real alternatives exist. It’s fun, it’s accessible, and it’s deep.
