In this groundbreaking book, one of America's most fascinating writers turns his mind to this seemingly straightforward question. The question has confronted us since man discovered fire, but, according to Pollan, how we answer it today may well determine our very survival as a species. To find out, Pollan follows each of the food chains that sustain us -- industrial food, organic or alternative food, and food we forage ourselves -- from the source to the final meal, and in the process develops a definitive account of the American way of eating. --back cover
