The Omnivore's Dilemma: Why Food Matters More Than Ever (20th Anniversary Edition)

'The foundational text that allowed us to re-understand food' Chris van Tulleken

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

Michael Pollan devised his famous seven-word philosophy for healthy eating after the remarkable success of The Omnivore's Dilemma. Twenty years later, his investigation of the journey that food takes from the soil to the plate remains as urgent and topical as ever. This is the classic work that kick-started the global discussion of food quality and ethics.

This edition includes a new introduction in which Pollan shows how his arguments are more timely than ever, touching on ultra-processed food, the impact of climate change and healthy eating movements around the world.
