February 25 — “The Omnivore’s Dilemma”
“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” That, Michael Pollan admits, is pretty much all his latest book has to say. But when you unpack it, the message is much more complicated, and challenging politically and morally.
When: Monday February 25, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Butler University, Atherton Union Reilly Room.
Free and open to the public. For more information, call (317) 940-9861.
Pollan will discuss the question: What do you know about the food that you eat? Named one of the 10 best books of 2006 by The New York Times and The Washington Post, his The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals is about deciding what to eat when faced with the modern industrial food system. His new book moves from the descriptive (where does our food come from?) to the prescriptive (what should we eat?).
