The Tree Room Author Series
presents Michael Pollan

Sundance Rehearsal Hall
December 1st, 2007

The Sundance Resort in partnership with the Spotted Frog Bookstore presents, Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilemma.

 

In the ancient days of hunter-gatherers, a wrong food choice could be one's last, as a poison mushroom or toxic root could kill the most discriminating omnivore. Today, according to Botany of Desire author Michael Pollan, we face comparable dangers in the midst of plenitude. Pollan notes that Fast-Food America is experiencing what can only be described as a national eating disorder. With compelling precision, he describes how parallel food chains (industrialized food, alternative or "organic" food, and home-gathered food) reflect differences and similarities in our ecology of eating. A fascinating look behind the labels.

 

Single tickets will be priced at $95 per person. Advance reservations are required. Tickets include the author's lecture and discussion, a lavish brunch in the award winning Tree Room, and an autographed copy of the author's latest book. Alcohol is not included. Events begin at noon. Tickets are available by calling the Sundance Activities Desk at 801-223-4567.
