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.
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。
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.
评分英文写作课必读材料第一本。不确定有没有引进国内,因为主要在讲美国食品工业和反思老美到底要怎么吃饭的问题……事无巨细,事无巨细啊!!!这作者把他干过的所有经历的细节全部写出来了……喋喋不休,看死人了……
评分总的说来有点罗嗦,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。

这本书我怀疑不会被引进到国内,就是引进了也未必有多少人看。你吃玉米我吃饭,你吃牛来我吃猪,你喝苏打我喝汤,大家饮食结构不尽相同。不过写作套路很值得借鉴。 它是一本美国版的“写食主义”,只是面向的是萝卜白菜的大众。沈宏非的写食是美食家的闲谈。朱伟的写食是文学...
