Michael Pollan talks about a new way to see world change.

Author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, Michael Pollan is a wonderful lecturer on how to look anew at how Nature may be able to give us answers about the planet's future.

And while we're on the subject you can check his guest blog here where you also find his eminently sensible rules for eating;

1. Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.
2. Avoid food products with more than five ingredients; with ingredients you can't pronounce.
3. Don't eat anything that won't eventually rot.
4. Shop the perimeter of the supermarket, where the food is least processed.
5. Avoid food products that make health claims.
6. Eat meals and eat them only at tables. (And no, a desk is not a table.)
7. Eat only until you're 4/5 full. (An ancient Japanese injunction.)
8. Pay more, eat less.
9. Diversify your diet and eat wild foods when you can.
10. Eat slowly, with other people whenever possible, and always with pleasure.

Omnivore's Dilemma Interview

You may recall I recommended the book 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' some time ago. I was nspired not just by authorMichael Pollan's story of what has happened to food in the US, but also by his wonderful prose. A major theme of his book was the 'industrialisation' of organic food supply in the US. Today the methods used to supply the burgeoning market has seemed to take on many of the wiles and ways of feedlot ethics.
Anyone who has visited the US would also have been indelibly impressed by the megasized "Whole Food" stores. In this discussion Michael Pollan beards the dragon - talks to the managing director of Whole Foods about his direction and ethics. Good stuff! Here

While you are at it, Pollan also talks enthusiastically about Polyface farm, run by a renegade back to basics organic farmer. I took a look at polyface farm's website and it's wonderful. Here's the link. enjoy!
