The Omnivore's Dilemma: a Natural History of Four Meals
Michael Pollan's article "The Omnivore's Dilemma," examines how farming, and eating habits and lifestyles have changed through the production of processed foods. There was once a time when producers and consumers cared about eating healthy, but the food industry has changed the view and diet of how Americans eat. The article observes what we actually should be eating for dinner instead of corn and soybeans. Pollan examines that the answer is simplistic, yet hard to discover because of the multiple food choices consumers are offered. Pollan explains the impact that corn has had on the production of our food. He discovers it is difficult for consumers to understand the origin of food because of the many states it goes through to be processed. Pollan also reminds us that the production of corn has led to pollution, killing both animal and plant life and eliminating our healthy food supply.
