Michael Pollan, author of one of my favorite books,"The Botany of Desire", Examining the tulip, potato, cannabis, and apple, Pollan studies the relationship between people and the natural world through the history of four plants. He now has a new book called "The Omnivores Dillema", where he explores the implications of modern society's cornucopia of food choices on our health and the health of the planet.
Wednesday, April 26, we saw him speak at the Herbst Theater's City Arts and Lectures Series.
Some notes from this:
- The Slow Food Movement - runs counter to fast food ideas. Makes a case for eating locally produced foods by taking the time to enjoy your food.
