Corn feeds the steer that turns into the burgers, becomes the oil that cooks the fries and the syrup that sweetens the shakes and the sodas, and makes up 13 of the 38 ingredients in the Chicken McNuggets.
Indeed, one of the many eye-openers in the The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals is the prevalence of corn in the American diet; of the 45,000 items in a supermarket, more than a quarter contain corn.
Author, Michael Pollan approaches his mission not as an activist but as a naturalist: "The way we eat represents our most profound engagement with the natural world."
The Omnivore's Dilemma is a fascinating journey up and down the food chain, one that might change the way you read the label on a frozen dinner, dig into a steak or decide whether to buy organic eggs. You'll certainly never look at a Chicken McNugget the same way again.
An eater's manifesto that is thoughtful and engrossing. You're not likely to get a better explanation of exactly where your food comes from than from the The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals.
Be careful of your dinner!
