The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

Oh my goodness, this was one of the most interesting, best-written books I've ever read. Not best book about food, just best book. So smart. It really made me think about the food I eat and where it comes from. But it was also funny and human. Pollan's voice–as a interested person really trying to find out where his food comes from–is unique and helps navigate through statistics and (gross) anecdotes.
