In Defense of Food: Author, Journalist Michael Pollan on Nutrition, Food Science and the American Diet

Acclaimed author and journalist Michael Pollan argues that what most Americans are consuming today is not food but "edible food-like substances." His previous book, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, was named one of the ten best books of 2006 by the New York Times and the Washington Post. His latest book, just published, is called In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto. [includes rush transcript]

Sorry, but Mrs. Clinton won't get us there. The only thing that will get us there is a STRONG grassroots movement that drives the economy towards relationships between consumers and small family farmers. If we lose that relationship, we will lose our ability to control what we eat!
