The Omnivore's Dilemma pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
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.
Michael Pollan is an American author, journalist, activist, and professor of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is also the director of the Knight Program in Science and Environmental Journalism.

评分"We are indeed what we eat-and what we eat remakes the world"
评分其实食品制造工业化这一丑陋的流程是很难被逆转了. 我们可以做的是作为消费者努力不让我们的食品消费过程工业化. we eat industrially—which is to say, when we eat without a thought to what we're doing. 简单来说, 我们需要清楚的是: What it is we're eating. Where it came from. How it found its way to our table. And what, in a true accounting, it really cost. 越接近食品制造工业化的真相, 对工业化食品的逃离者就会越多, 这还是一个希望所在.

评分有点微妙还算有趣。本来以为是从食品角度讲人类进化史,实际上更接近作者个人的随笔。从工业化农场的见闻讲玉米怎样畸形地主导了美国的食品工业、来自食品工业看似廉价的食物实际对生态环境、纳税人、消费者健康有着怎样的隐性代价;再讲有机农场如何以草为基础建立小型的生态圈来同时生产各种绿色食品,甚至讲到动手杀鸡的体验;最后记叙作者亲身猎野猪采蘑菇的过程,谈食肉的伦理和人与自然生态的共生关系。
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...
评分這幾年我一直思考,究竟自己應該如何生活。當錢不成問題之後,究竟要往“增加”改變,還是往“極簡”改變? 我們選擇極簡。 並不是因爲現在流行極簡風,或者說流行極簡風,其實是有一定道理的。 我們選擇極簡,是基於以下信念: 1,人類已經爲這個地球製造了太多垃圾和污染,所...
评分- 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...

评分于我而言,《杂食者的两难》一书里的许多观点并不新奇,但说得甚合我心,在某些点上,又恰到好处拓展了我的理解和认知。比较妙的是,作者通过体证的方式,去构建了一套关于食物的系统,地从产地到餐桌,从产业化食物链,到有机食物链,再到采集食物链。这样的整全与丰富,给了...
