In Defense of Food An Eaters Manifesto – A Lecture by Michael Pollan

This lecture by author, and Berkeley professor, Michael Pollan, is the longest video Ive ever posted on Foodwishes. I was scanning the usual sites for some funny weekend filler content, and I came across this. The best book, by far, I read last year was called The Omnivores Dilemma. It was a fascinating, scary, provocative, disturbing read, and for the first time I really started to think about all the "factory food" we consume.

This lecture filmed at Google, focuses mostly on Michaels new book, In Defense of Food. I highly recommend that if youre interested in what he is talking about, you buy these books and read about where our food comes from, and how it gets to us. I like to think Im doing some good in the world, showing people how easy it is to cook fresh food at home, but thats only part of it. What theyre buying and cooking is just as important. Enjoy.
