Omnivore's Dilemma

Watch this space for a review of Michael Pollan's, the Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals.

Pollan, a journalism professor at U.C. Berkeley, and contributor to the New York Times Magazine, has much to say about industrial agriculture, "big organic" (think Whole Foods, Cal-Organic), grass farming, and sustainability.

I will certainly check back for the review!

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.
