good stuff (as usual) from Michael Pollan

If you’re not on his mailing list (and it’s worthwhile and very low volume), you might not have heard about this: he answers questions (and is accepting more questions) at the New York Times. It’s http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/10/02/magazine/29mag-food-issue.html?ref=magazine&ref=magazine#/pollan

If you ever have the chance to hear him speak live, it’s well worth the effort to get there. He’s a good speaker with a real depth of knowledge about food issues, and he’s very funny, so the whole affair doesn’t have the potentially pious tone it could have when talking about all the food issues. He’s also willing and able to say that he doesn’t know the answers to questions, which is itself refreshing.
