內容簡介:
A New York Times bestseller that has changed the way readers
view the ecology of eating, this revolutionary book by award winner
Michael Pollan asks the seemingly simple question: What should we
have for dinner? Tracing from source to table each of the food
chains that sustain us—whether industrial or organic, alternative
or processed—he develops a portrait of the American way of eating.
The result is a sweeping, surprising exploration of the hungers
that have shaped our evolution, and of the profound implications
our food choices have for the health of our species and the future
of our planet.
