Michael Pollan separates his Omnivores Dilemma into three main sections: Industrial, Pastoral, and Personal. Each of these separate sections were created to show us the different types of meals Americans have, such as industrial (corn), organic, and hunter-gather meal. The reason he did this is because of the common question us omnivores have daily, "What should we have for dinner?" Each and every one of our meals falls into one of these categories.
He uses a first person perspective throughout the book. Hes the main character and goes to different places such as a farms, mills, forests, and talks about the meals he prepares. We get to take an inside look of his mind and what he thinks about when presented with different sets of information.
