In Omnivores Dilemma, Michael Pollan's purpose is to cause Americans to ask themselves, "Do they know what they're eating?" and answer the question "What should we have for dinner?" Most people don't know what they're eating and the process behind it. Therefore Michael goes into detail to inform the reader about what they're really eating, and that is corn. This crop is grown in the thousands on a single plot, and plays a major role in the all of our foods.
I believe its important that we have books like this to inform our society about what goes into our food. Its sad because for the most part, humans eat everyday but more than half of them can't identify what they're eating or where it came from. This is when a book, such as this one, can enlighten people about truth about what their food.
