Michael Pollan writes food and environmental non-fiction about agriculture, eating and the systems that connect farms, markets and everyday diets. The Omnivore's Dilemma follows several meals back through industrial agriculture, organic farming and hunting or gathering, asking what different food chains require from land, animals and people. In Defense of Food reduces its argument to practical questions about how processed food and nutritional advice shape eating habits, while Cooked examines transformation through fire, water, air and fermentation. Pollan's books combine reporting, history, science and personal experiment rather than offering recipes alone. His work fits food writing, environmental non-fiction and popular science, particularly for readers interested in how production methods influence what reaches the table. Read more Less
