Pollan explores the question "What should we have for dinner?" To answer this question, he follows four meals from three different food chains from their origins to the plate. Along the journey Pollan examines the ethical, political, and ecological factors that are intertwined in the industrial, organic, and personal (hunted-gathered) food chains, while describing the environmental and health consequences that result from our food choices within these chains. The book describes the shades of meaning related to the term organic.
