from the BILL MOYERS JOURNAL NEWSLETTER - Friday, November 28, 2008
“You don't have to wait for Nancy Pelosi or Barack Obama or Collin Peterson to get their act together on this issue. You can act now. There are alternatives. You can vote with your fork."- Michael Pollan
This week on BILL MOYERS JOURNAL (KCET - TV)
As Americans gather to give thanks this week, food – quality, quantity, cost – remains a national issue. BILL MOYERS JOURNAL takes a hard look at how America’s food policies – trade rules, farm subsidies, and regulation – affect larger issues including global warming, healthcare, and even homeland security. Bill Moyers sits down with Michael Pollan, Knight Professor of Journalism at UC Berkeley, to discuss what directions the U.S. should pursue in the often-overlooked question of food policy. Pollan is author of IN DEFENSE OF FOOD: AN EATER'S MANIFESTO.
