About this listen

 The New York Times bestseller that’s changing America’s diet is now perfect for younger readers

“What’s for dinner?” seemed like a simple question—until journalist and supermarket detective Michael Pollan delved behind the scenes. From fast food and big organic to small farms and old-fashioned hunting and gathering, this young readers’ adaptation of Pollan’s famous food-chain exploration encourages kids to consider the personal and global health implications of their food choices.

In a smart, compelling format with updated facts, plenty of photos, graphs, and visuals, as well as a new afterword, The Omnivore’s Dilemma serves up a bold message to the generation that needs it most: It’s time to take charge of our national eating habits—and it starts with you.

**Bonus PDF included with charts, diagrams, and photos. Nutrition

I liked the reading style, it fit well with the writing style and made it feel like Michael Pollan was talking to me in the room. The book itself was informative and confirmed what I have suspected about the food industry and what changes we need to make. Thanks again!

Wonderful, Thankyou!

It started off well but the description of the feed lot was disturbing, However when they got to the description of the author shooting and then gutting a pig hanging from a tree, that was the point at which I decided that there were other books on diet that needed my attention. This book did me a service in that it did convince me that the decision to go vegetarian three years ago was the correct one. Narration was quite OK,

A must listen for all Americans. Still got a lot of of it on the other side of the world in Australia. This book helps people remember and think about things we need to remember and think about more in our lives. Loved it.

Truly important messages

Interesting book and topic. What I didn't realise until too late was that this in an abridged/altered version apparently aimed at teenagers.

The result is that you will occasionally find the author over-explaining basic premises and talking down to you.

it's not done in a patronising way. But it's annoying enough that you might regret buying this version. (Haven't tried the other, but i assume it won't spend 5 minutes explaining what the word hybrid means).

Get the other version?

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Found the facts about modern factory food production quite disturbing. Enjoyed hearing about Polyface Farm

Excellent book
