I'll let you know as I finish the book.

Today I am fascinated with a book I am currently reading and its implications on America's nutritional history. I am reading Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma", which speaks of food chains, the history of corn and our disenfranchisement from a sense of authority concerning the feeding our own bodies. This is not a conspiracy, but a result of the post war industrial infrastructure and a search for agricultural efficiency.

Hello Tom:
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.

All the best,
