"The blessing of the omnivore is that he can eat a great many different things in nature" (Pollan 287) I believe Pollan is showing us that we have an abundant variety of ways to get nourished. We are entitled to more than just meat. We have vegetables and along with veggies, fruits. Besides basic foods like these comes other things like various snacks. For example, chips, cookies, candy, and etc. I think the Omnivore's dilemma is having to choose from so many different kinds of food. The problem I see is "What should I eat?" Giving some people too many choices makes it harder for some to pick. I believe that giving too many options provides a more confusing difficult decision. I experience this almost everyday. There's never any food in my house so I always have to go out and get food. When I realize I have to get food that I can't decided where I'm going to eat or what I want to eat. My decisions also get harder because I live by almost every type of food. There's three diners not even three minutes away from each other, three popular fast-food franchises near me, two health bars, the supermarket, pizza joints, and chinese. When I do pick a place they also give you more options on what you in particular want. There is so much food too choose from which makes it a dilemma and making the choice even more narrow, more dilemma!
