The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
by Michael Pollan
"The omnivore’s dilemma has returned with a vengeance, as the cornucopia of the modern American supermarket and fast-food outlet confronts us with a bewildering and treacherous food landscape. What’s at stake in our eating choices is not only our own and our children’s health, but the health of the environment that sustains life on earth."
This book looks at people as omnivores and as such provided with way too many dietary choices. A section of the book is dedicated to corn's role in the current fast food industry and exactly how many items in the average supermarket are made from corn.
