The Omnivore's Dilemma Analysis
Cheap food, No time!
The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan introduces 3 main topics; Industrial Corn, Pastoral Grass, Personal The Forest. In these topics Pollan portrays in depth descriptions of each section. Within these sections, he goes on to prove to the reader this book has more to it than they know.
Section one Pollan goes on to talk about corn, its origin, and the world of processing. In this he talks about how food we eat somehow comes from corn. Pollan uses a play on words, he uses contradicting statements, and blunt indirect comments towards people. Pollan tries to refer to the Americans who are continually gaining weight without directly calling them out specifically. On page 102 Pollan is critisizing Americans when saying: …show more content…
Michael Pollan is using the fact that after a fast food meal we are not satisfied but regret consuming all the food eaten and therefire are full. On page 119 “and so it goes, bite after bite, until you feel not satisfied exactly, but simply, regrettably, full.” Once Pollan says this it clicks that Americans are not satisfied with what’s fast and easy but what know they are eating and don’t feel healthy after eating that meal.
Section Two Pollan brings to light organic foods and the difference between mass produced and local farms. He exaggerates, he describes grass as it is capable of becoming something else. Page 126 “End of season Grasses transformed into 25,000 pounds beef, 50,000 pounds pork, 12,000 broilers, 800 turkeys, 500 rabbits, and 30,000 dozen eggs.” All this is within 100 acres of pasture and it comes to show that grass truelt feeds many and all that feeds …show more content…
Hanging upside down by one leg, he's carried by the trolley into the bleeding area, where the bleeder cuts his throat. Animal rights people say they're cutting live animals, but that's because there's a lot of reflex kicking. What I look for is, is the head dead? It should be flopping like a rag, with the tongue hanging out. He'd better not be trying to hold it up — then you've got a live one on the rail. Just in case, they have another stunner in the bleed area.
This explanation brings out the more not pleasant side of eating meat and informs people about the extremely disturbing process of how a cow ends up on our plates.
Throughout this book Michael Pollan uses his strengths in writing to present The Omnivore's Dilemma to readers and give them a full experience of the works; emotional feelings and all. The ways the Pollan uses to present his explanations help better the readers understanding of the book and subjects
