One of the New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the Year Winner of the James Beard
Award Author of How to Change Your Mind and the #1 New York Times Bestsellers In Defense of
Food and Food Rules What should we have for dinner? Ten years ago Michael Pollan confronted
us with this seemingly simple question and with The Omnivore's Dilemma his brilliant and
eye-opening exploration of our food choices demonstrated that how we answer it today may
determine not only our health but our survival as a species. In the years since Pollan's
revolutionary examination has changed the way Americans think about food. Bringing wide
attention to the little-known but vitally important dimensions of food and agriculture in
America Pollan launched a national conversation about what we eat and the profound
consequences that even the simplest everyday food choices have on both ourselves and the
natural world. Ten years later The Omnivore's Dilemma continues to transform the way Americans
think about the politics perils and pleasures of eating.
