Serious Sustainability

as we take better care of our bodies we also take care of our planet...eat fresh, eat local and eat organic! (or juice it:)  )

Some of you obviously dont know the true cost of industrialized agriculture. When you sit down and eat your chemically laiden, highly processed food from who knows where does it make you feel good? I guess it probably does if low prices are all you care about. What about the environmantal costs of industrial ag like cancer caused from chemicals, pollution, decreased soil fertility, decreased biodiversity...? We only have 1 planet, we should take better care of it so it can take care of us!

Observe how the so-called Jews resurrected the devil, DAGON, as the one god.
The letters in the name DAGON are rearranged to read `one god`, Monotheism.
The `a` and `n` in DAGON spells, `an`. `An` means one. Then you have D-G-O remaining, which is rearranged as G-O-D.
The devil was then passed to you to worship as 'the One God`.
Be mindful then, that all forms of worship are devil worship and are forbidden by Nature.
The result of any worship is death.
Death is eternity in the Sun.

bmed, you aren't able to negate his arguments with any evidence, any facts. His books are littered with both, evidence and fact. All you're doing is bashing him without being able to negate his arguments. You seem like the bigger joke here.

pollan is a joke. as an avid gardener he wants everyone to adopt a more down to earth method of food production, literally. he does not take into consideration the human labour, increased costs, and low yields asociated with such practices. small scale agriculture/gardening will always remain a luxury for those who can afford it

The yield difference between synthetically grown ag and organically grown is 2 tonnes per hectare.

Except, the machines which run a smaller industrial farm do not HAVE to run on diesel or petroleum-based fuels at all.

In Mexico and Central America, most farmers make their own biodiesel. New Holland now has a pre-production model 40hp tractor that runs on hydrogen fuel cells....

So what's your argument again?

ur right. his calling for a return to more responsible agriculture will increase the cost of food through higher production costs and food shortages. he may not be part of a conspiracy but this is whathe is indirectly supporting.

we also cannot expect ppl to slave away as farmers. large scale agriculture is theonly way we can meet global demand fo low cost food.

Learn, and think wisely!

Michael Pollan takes a little from this book, a little bit from that news article and his experience from gardening to become an expert on how to change all the health, food and environmental problems of the world.

If he would do more research to "connect the dots" rather than his simplistic message sprinkled with the same impressive sounding adjectives and the same stories, he would be more believable. Don't forget he is a writer who makes his living selling article and speeches.

So what is it that we need to fix? The whole entire money system. Lets just get off of money completely lets see how a resource based system instead of a monetary system. Check out the Venus Project.
