Themes in The Omnivore’s Dilemma
Goal: Provide evidence to support a theme in The Omnivore’s Dilemma.
What to Do: Submit a short video to Flipgrid about a theme in The Omnivore’s
Dilemma. Online go to Assignments > Themes in The Omnivore’s Dilemma.
1. The Omnivore’s Dilemma includes the following major themes:
Nature vs. Human Intervention
Pleasure and Happiness
Natural processes provide the plants
and animals humans need for food.
Pollan points out that agriculture,
domestication, and food processing
have forever altered these processes.
Happiness and pleasure are important
criteria in making food choices. The
author relates feelings of happiness with
nature, culture, community, and the
individual.
Compromise
Producing our food involves trade-offs.
Pollan is sensitive to the idea of
compromise, with the understanding that
there is no perfect food system; each has
its successes and failures.
Interconnectedness
Efficiency and Utility
Complex connections exist among all
living things, whether we realize it or not.
The author argues that industrial food
relies on our not knowing about many of
these connections.
Food systems are evaluated on their
efficiency and utility, i.e. profit potential.
Pollan mentions what is overlooked are
externalized costs, e.g. human and
animal health, environment, subsidies.
a. Choose ONE theme to explore.
b. Find TWO different pieces of evidence from The Omnivore’s Dilemma and
