December 19th, 2007 | Published in Biology, Health, Food, Quotes
The blessing of the omnivore is that he can eat a great many different things in nature. The curse of the omnivore is that when it comes to figuring out which of those things are safe to eat, he’s pretty much on his own.
–Michael Pollan, The Omnivore’s Dilemma (2006), p. 287
