具体描述

What should we have for dinner? For omnivore's like ourselves, this simple question has always posed a dilemma: When you can eat just about anything nature (or the supermarket) has to offer, deciding what you should eat will inevitably stir anxiety, especially when some of the foods on offer might shorten your life. Today, buffeted by one food fad after another, America is suffering from what can only be described as a national eating disorder. The omnivore's dilemma has returned with a vengeance, as the cornucopia of the modern American supermarket and fast-food outlet confronts us with a bewildering and treacherous food landscape. What's at stake in our eating choices is not only our own and our children's health, but the health of the environment that sustains life on earth.

The Omnivore's Dilemma is a groundbreaking book in which one of America's most fascinating, original, and elegant writers turns his own omnivorous mind to the seemingly straightforward question of what we should have for dinner. The question has confronted us since man discovered fire, but, according to Michael Pollan, the bestselling author of The Botany of Desire, how we answer it today, ath the dawn of the twenty-first century, may well determine our very survival as a species. Should we eat a fast-food hamburger? Something organic> Or perhaps something we hunt, gather or grow ourselves?

To find out, Pollan follows each of the food chains that sustain us--industrial food, organic or alternative food, and food we forage ourselves--from the source to a final meal, and in the process develops a definitive account of the American way of eating. His absorbing narrative takes us from Iowa cornfields to food laboratories, from feedlots and fast-food restaurants to organic farms and hunting grounds, always emphasizing our dynamic coevolutionary relationship with the handful of plant and animal species we depend on. Each time Pollan sits down to a meal, he deploys his unique blend of personal and investigative journalism to trace the origins of everything consumed, revealing what we unwittingly ingest and explaining how our taste for particular foods and flavors reflects our evolutionary inheritance.

The surprising answers Pollan offers to the simple question posed by this book have profound political, economic, psychological, and even mortal implications for all of us. Ultimately, this is a book as much about visionary solutions as it is about problems, and Pollan contends that, when it comes to food, doing the right thing often turns out to be the tastiest thing an eater can do. Beautifully written and thrillingly argued, The Omnivore's Dilemma promises to change the way we think about the politics and pleasure of eating. For anyone who reads it, dinner will never again look, or taste, quite the same.

如果你看过Michael Pollan任意两本书或者纪录片,这本书就不用看了。 如果你看了这本书,作者以前任何的书或者纪录片都不用看了。 本书分成三个大部分,第一部分讲玉米在美国的过度生产和滥用。 第二部分讲有机食品走入歧路和寻找真正的健康食品。 第三部分才是甚是吸引人的标...

我喜欢这个作者的文笔,风趣幽默,还很有条理,知性的同时也不缺深切关怀,就很有魅力的感觉。这本书以三条主食物链为逻辑线,分别剖露出深入日常的产业化食物链的运作方式、另类食物选择中有机食物链的真实状况以及最后作者亲自下场体验采猎食物链这种往昔的进食方式。三种食...

又一本直击食品业有关内幕、反思美国人的饮食的书籍出炉了! 这本书的内涵其实很丰富,时下只能说几个要点: 1 美国人的食品也存在极大的隐患:疯牛病的危险、大肠杆菌爆发、食品中汞超标、肌肉中含过量砷……诸如此类,就好像中国有绿源的回炉牛肉干、华龙的过期面粉……无...

- 翻查記錄, 自己好像是14年還是15年就標註出想看這本書, 書本也買了回家兩三年, 卻一直沒有翻開。這本書因為伙伴的推薦, 在'業內'也算是經典了, 像我那麼"儒子不可教"者, 估計人數也不多。 - 這次會想打開來讀, 主要是因為合作伙伴中有群家長在讀, 聽他們分享說很有意思, 那反...

少有的我读了英文又回去读中文,读完中文又买了有声书的佳作。

和Cat中午吃饭的时候她提到的书。之前也看到这本书,没有motivation翻开看。大致翻了一遍,就是我们自己摸索的比较健康的饮食方式的reinforcement. 每天生活不可能细致到每一样食物都健康绿色,只能说majority尽可能能做到一种比较自然,按照自己身体所需的方式搭配就好了。

只给最后一章星星= =

总的说来有点罗嗦,但是内容还是不错的。而且虽然作者也有自己的观点,但是客观和不极端。
