Michael Pollan: The omnivore's next dilemma

People have biochemistry too--I believe there are forms of human communication that haven't been fully understood yet, such as pheromones. Maybe there are even subconscious forms of human communication that haven't been discovered yet.

Yes. The farmer's website and his books -- look up Joel Salatin.

Pollan is the only author who has written material I have been able to read and thoroughly enjoy. Awesome! :D

so this is a single farmer? not a big corporation?  why are farmers going broke and disappearing to corporations?

lol forget Darwin, God is so good, He's a genius!!

He looks like Stanley Tucci! :)

Because of the dangers of a reductionist point of view of nutrititon, i feel its likely that it is healthier to eat in the manner we evolved to eat instead of relying on dietary supplemants. That being said, one example is that Vitamin B12 can only be gotten from animal flesh or other animal products.

Vitamin B-12 can be stored in the human body for up to 3 decades before needing to replenish it's supply. So, I doubt it is crucial to get a daily supply. Also, vitamin B-12 can be absorbed from naturally growing plants. Due to our insanely strict sanitation policies and use of chemicals, the vitamin B-12 gets lost from the surface of the vegetables and fruits that we eat. Essentially, the dirt particles on plants contain the B-12 that herbivores get to survive.

yes but people who take over the counter meds for Gerd and reflex are risking being depleted of B-12. So its important to supplement.
