AU Reads The Omnivore's Dilemma
August 27, 2012 - by Stan BogdanovIn The Omnivore's Dilemma, Michael Pollan addresses what we
should have for dinner and 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 contemporary American way of eating. The
surprising answers Pollan offers to the simple question posed by this
book have profound political, economic, psychological, and even
moral implications for all of us.
Your Library has copies of the
book on reserve for a 7 day borrowing period, and there is a related
book exhibit in Swirbul Library in the Hay Periodical Lounge.
