Michael Pollan Food Solution Proposal To Obama
If you don’t know about Michael Pollan (author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food, An Eater’s Manifesto), it’s time to be introduced. A leader in the sustainable food movement (yes, it’s a movement), Michael has written an in-depth and thought provoking proposal to the President of the United States outlining a much needed re-organization of the way we grow, process and obtain our food. Bravo, Michael for your bold ideas and courageous efforts to bring our nation back to health! -T.G.N
