The Omnivore's Dilemma : Why Food Matters More than Ever (20th Anniversary Edition)

‘The foundational text that allowed us to re-understand food’ Chris van Tulleken Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. Michael Pollan devised his famous seven-word philosophy for healthy eating after the remarkable success of The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Twenty years later, his investigation of the journey that food takes – from the soil to the plate – remains as urgent and topical as ever. This is the classic work that kick-started the global discussion of food quality and ethics. This edition includes a new introduction in which Pollan shows how his arguments are more timely than ever, touching on ultra-processed food, the impact of climate change and healthy eating movements around the world. ‘The book that changed the way people who care about food think about food’ GQ ‘Outstanding . . . a wide-ranging invitation to think through the moral ramifications of our eating habits’ The New Yorker ‘A beautifully written and shocking investigation’ Daily Telegraph
