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

I read this book a few years ago, by coincidence I had it checked out and started reading it a little of the way through a weight loss program that I had to do to get a part in a play. It transformed my program and it transformed me. I'll never be the same person again, I haven't eaten fast food (with the exception of Chipolte) since I've read the book and I never will.

This book has a ton of information. I don't fall in fully with all of Pollan's philosophies, some of which contradict throughout the book, but they are a great place to start. You might also like good calorie bad calorie, as well as many of the other books that Pollan references.

We may not be what we eat. But what must we eat? What are the consequences of this?
Michael Pollan is at his best yet in this book about four meals. He talks about his own experience in wrestling with common questions the concerned eater of today has.
How bad is fast food? What is really organic? The joys of hunting and scavenging your food. Should you turn vegan? Should I eat local? How does that help?
