we have for dinner? Ten years ago, Michael Pollan confronted us with this seemingly simple question and, withThe Omnivores Dilemma,his brilliant and eye-opening exploration of our food choices, demonstrated that how we answer it today may determine not only our health but our survival as a species.In the years since, Pollans revolutionary examination has changed the way Americans think about food.
