Book: Omnivore’s Dilemma

Author Michael Pollan takes us through 4 different meals from field to table. The first meal is from the typical industrial farming model where we learn that corn is contained in over one quarter of the products in the supermarket. The second meal points out the flaws in “big organic”. The third is sourced from locally grown and produced food. He hunts and forages for the fourth meal.
