The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals (Large Print)

by Michael Pollan

The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals (Large Print) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Pollan writes about the ecology of the food humans eat and why--what it is, in fact, that we are eating. Discussing industrial farming, organic food, and what it is like to hunt and gather food, this is a surprisingly honest and self-aware account of the evolution of the modern diet.
