Smart use of media

Amazon has done it again-- on the page for Amazon.com: Omnivore's Dilemma: Books they have placed an interview with the author, Michael Pollan. Teetering on the edge of buying yet another food book, the engaging arguments in the video tip me over.

If you are feeling a bit suspicious of the food industry, or more importantly, if you feel good about yourself becuase you eat organic, read New Yorker article Paradise Sold, which mercifully is still up on the site.

Hello EH:

If interested Organically Speaking a Seattle base website has released a conversation with Michael Pollan podcast (audio conversation). Interesting tidbits on farmers markets, CSAs, and more!

Some Podcast Show Note Questions:

Q) Why the price difference between conventional food and organic and how do we go about bringing down organic food prices?

Q) How can small local organic farmers remain local in a capitalistic system?

Q) What is the "Food Web" you briefly touch on in your book, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals.

All the best,
