The Omnivore's Dilemma explains the paradox of the food choices we face today, how the industrial revolution changed the way we eat, and which food choices are the most ethical, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.

What should you have for dinner? Simple question, right? At least it was, up until a few thousand and even a few hundred years ago.

You ate what was available during that season, sold by the farmer that day.

Today everything is available, all the time, wherever we are. So what do we eat to stay healthy, make economic choices, and not hurt the environment?

Michael Pollan helps us answer this now highly-complicated question in The Omnivore's Dilemma.
