520    What should we have for dinner? When you can eat just 
       about anything nature (or the supermarket) has to offer, 
       deciding what you should eat will inevitably stir anxiety,
       especially when some of the foods might shorten your life.
       Today, buffeted by one food fad after another, America is 
       suffering from a national eating disorder. As the 
       cornucopia of the modern American supermarket and fast 
       food outlet confronts us with a bewildering and 
       treacherous landscape, what's at stake becomes not only 
       our own and our children's health, but the health of the 
       environment that sustains life on earth. Pollan follows 
       each of the food chains--industrial food, organic or 
       alternative food, and food we forage ourselves--from the 
       source to the final meal, always emphasizing our 
       coevolutionary relationship with the handful of plant and 
       animal species we depend on. The surprising answers Pollan
       offers have profound political, economic, psychological, 
       and even moral implications for all of us.--From publisher
       description.
