The omnivore's dilemma : a natural history of four meals

Pollan, Michael. (Author).

Summary: "What shall we have for dinner? Should we choose the organic apple or the conventional? If organic, local or imported? Wild fish or farmed? Low-carb or low-cal? We can eat what nature has to offer, but deciding what we should eat stirs anxiety. This work traces the origin of what is consumed and the implications of it for us and our planet." --product description.
