Food, it’s what’s for dinner
Thursday, October 11th, 2012I strolled through the park this morning with the dogs and was listening to a Bill Moyers’ podcast where he was interviewing Michael Pollan. First, this is a biased statement I LOVE MICHAEL POLLAN. Okay, now that I’ve informed you of my bias, I’ll point you to the open letter to the President that Pollan took out when Obama was elected. Perhaps one of the best pieces of writing the New York Times has ever printed.
Pollan and Moyers sat down to talk about the state of food and I have to say if there is something that every person in this world can do, it’s listen to this podcast, read Pollan’s books, and vote with your fork. Cook, shop green markets, grow a garden, etc. We can do it!
It’s interesting that today, I was going through my media blogs and came across this little gem, Alex Bogusky, who left his eponymous firm a few years ago because of his disgust with media in general has resurfaced as a proselytizer against Coke – the very client that he worked for in his past life. Beautiful transition.
Tatjana and I cook every day and have never eaten any meal that came prepared in a box from the freezer at the grocery. Sure it takes some time, but it’s so worth it. And our winter garden is planted and ready for action.
