The only thing I disagree with him is, around @18:00 mark when he stated that once people become aware of how unsustainable their eating habits are, then they will stop eating that way...or something to that effect.
I don't have that much faith in people...sorry. They will still eat what ever is easiest to gobble down the fastest, whatever is advertised to them, and whatever attracts their taste buds

It's more about the content in between the Uh's. Everybody needs time to regroup their thoughts. The only difference between him and, let's say, a republican candidate is that he actually says meaningful things in between brief pauses.

Doesn't that depend on how active your lifestyle is? If you're a professional athlete you're going to need a lot of carbohydrate to replace your spent energy. But I agree, for more sedentary lifestyles meat, fish and vegetables are certainly desirable for all the human race groups, while refined carbohydrates are to be avoided, especially as one advances in years.

I was unconscious to the unsustainabilty to my eating habits. It was a series of events, two significants ones, one of which was realizing my eating choices were making me ill and going on a fruit and vegetable cleanse and watching Fast Food Nation. It didn't happen overnight but it did happen where I no longer eat at fast food restaurants, I just don't trust them, and I choose to eat a predominatly plant based diet. I now make daily choices in the direction of a sustainable food supply.

I mean if every farmer did what the grass farmer does, we would be helping nature.

The grass farmer, 100 acres of grass and 400 acres of woodlot. Woodlot, a place for wild animals to live. Unlike most modern farms that utilize every square inch leaving no place for wild animals. The government has the CRP program in the midwest but the cost of corn has made the crop so valuable that there has been a huge reduction of CRP. If every farm practiced this we would be helping nature instead of ruining it.

Pollan wouldn't deny you meat. He WOULD advocate eating meat produced via a higher and better way. Also he would suggest you reduce the amount of meat you eat. A daily 16 ounces isn't necessary really.

clickidyclack - You're correct, everyone will NOT change. But many people are aware that there are major weaknesses and problems in our food system. Without cheap oil it is NOT sustainable. Those of us who teach ourselves a new better way will be ahead of the game. These truths need to be told.
