The omnivore's dilemma: a shocking study of the modern human diet 

Have you ever wondered how food gets to our table? Have you bought groceries from the supermarket or farmers' market? Or maybe you yourself grew tomatoes or brought a goose from a successful hunt? Or ordered a burger at a nearby fast food restaurant? Every dish has its own history and before it becomes a guest of honor at our dinner, it experiences its own history. Michael Pollan, a renowned American publicist, studied 3 global ways of getting food for humans: the industrial food chain, where corn plays a major role, large and local private farms, and gathering and hunting. Each of these methods was studied in detail by the author, in addition, Michael himself made his own lunch, according to the principles of each food chain, shared not only the results of his "practical" work, but also studied the moral and ethical issues of human choice of food. Man is an omnivorous creature, and the food we choose every day affects not only our health, but also our survival as a whole species, as well as our habitat.
