Michael Pollan presents the reader with his own work of food journalism in the form of Omnivore’s Dilemma, in which he defines industrial logic and how this idea motivates industry to produce the food we…

mainly focused on why the farm-to-table movement failed to give the farmers the help they needed. This paradigm is confirmed in Lynne Curry’s Has Farm-to-Table Helped the Actual Farmer Yet? published in the L.A. Times. Curry narrates her experience meeting an acquaintance who is a farmer, saying “I ran into a farmer I know in December. “I'm not going to make my operating loan in February,” he told me, meaning he might lose his farm to foreclosure.
