BILL MOYERS JOURNAL | Michael Pollan Interview, Pt. 1 (via PBS) I could post part two separately but here’s a link instead. And for those who prefer to read, here’s the transcript of the entire show. Love PBS.

This is the single best interview I’ve seen with Michael Pollan. He doesn’t come across as anti-meat here either which is why I am often irked. Growing grains and legumes to feed cows is so profoundly stupid, I put it higher on my list of peeves than he does. So be it.

There are so many subtle and nuanced issues in the albatros of agribusiness, and food production that only an hour-long discussion can begin to address them.  In the end, Pollan is a wonderful voice for real, practical improvements in our food system. Much of which is in our hands. I like that. Do you have plans for a garden this year? Who’s your farmer baby?

There’s been a fair amount of news around this creepy meat processing plant. Coincidently, it’s one I swung by on the Vespa Tour just so I could make this photo. Tom Philpott breaks it down with flare and includes a great clip from Food Inc. made in the same location.

The entire documentary, Food Inc. is now online. No excuses folks. Watch it.
