[...] then you know that I have a major nerd crush on Michael Pollan. I’ve written on him here, here and here (at least). What can I say? I love a guy that can make food policy and politics [...]

i haven’t seen food inc, mostly because my husband won’t watch it with me and i don’t really want to be taken out of my comfort zone. i don’t eat a lot of fast food, but there are times when i don’t want to know where my food comes from. is that bad?

i do want to watch it, though, maybe tomorrow while the hubby’s out skiing!

You were surprised they don’t eat fast food every day, and I’m stunned they eat fast food 4 days a week. I can’t believe that. Really?! I’ve probably eaten fast food four times in the last two YEARS… Every time I do, I feel like absolute trash. How do people eat that stuff so much? I’d have a mountain of acne and I’d weigh 10,000 pounds!!!

Great post! Yes, I saw Michael Pollan on Oprah and later last night in person in a life interview. I really like his approach to changing our approach to food. I also like that he pointed out in his life interview that one key to improving our food situation is for people to cook more and that there are affordable, healthy meals one can make on the weekend for example (home-made vegetable soup with beans for example).

I have read the Omnivore’s Dilemma. Good book. Really makes you rethink corn. My husband and I do eat meat, but only purchase it from local farms. We want to support those that raise the animals in a good way so that they had happy lives.

I think there is a mistaken impression that it is costly to eat well at home. It’s not. Even if we had a Whole Foods here, I wouldn’t shop there often. And really, how environmentally friendly is it to purchase asparagus from brazil in winter, even if it is organic??

Used to live where there was one, and it was too expensive. Our local grocery stores carry a fair number of local items and there is a farmers market in the summer.
