The State of the Food Movement
August 17, 2010 – 3:21 pmI have posted essays by Michael Pollan, champion of food reform, before. Here is another, in which he discusses the state of the Food Movement: “The Food Movement, Rising.”
His argument: we can’t continue to ignore food as an integral part of economic and environmental sustainability, nor as the cause and the potential cure of the health care crisis, nor its status as a source of major political debate and power. Neither can we ignore its place at the crux of society: the family table. Food matters on all fronts. Choose wisely what you eat. And eat real food, not pseudo-food.
“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly Plants.” (from Pollan’s book, Omnivore’s Dilemma)
