#1 New York Times Bestsellers In Defense of Food and Food Rules
Today,
buffeted by one food fad after another, America is suffering from what can only
be described as a national eating disorder. Will it be fast food tonight, or
something organic? Or perhaps something we grew ourselves? The question of what
to have for dinner has confronted us since man discovered fire. But as Michael
Pollan explains in this revolutionary book, how we answer it now, as the dawn
of the twenty-first century, may determine our survival as a species. Packed
with profound surprises, The Omnivore's Dilemma is changing the way Americans
thing about the politics, perils, and pleasures of eating.
Coming
from The Penguin Press in 2013, Michael Pollan’s newest book Cooked: A Natural
History of Transformation--the story of our most trusted food expert’s culinary
education
"Thoughtful,
engrossing ... You're not likely to get a better explanation of exactly where
your food comes from."
-The New
York Times Book Review
"An
eater's manifesto ... [Pollan's] cause is just, his thinking is clear, and his writing
is compelling. Be careful of your dinner!"
-The
Washington Post
"Outstanding...
a wide-ranging invitation to think through the moral ramifications of our
eating habits."
--The New
Yorker
"If
you ever thought 'what's for dinner' was a simple question, you'll change your
mind after reading Pollan's searing indictment of today's food industry-and his
glimpse of some inspiring alternatives.... I just loved this book so much I
didn't want it to end."
-The
Seattle Times
