The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michal Pollan. The title refers to "the quandary faced by animals like humans (and rats and cockroaches) that, in order to stay alive, must choose from the bewildering array of edible and non-edible substances. We can eat a lot, but what should we eat?" I've only just started reading the book, but my impression is that it's focused primarily on the American omnivore's dilemma.
