Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto. Michael Pollan claims that real food--the kind your great-grandmother would recognize as food--is being undermined by both science and the food industry. In his return to Point Reyes, Pollan explored what the industrialization of food and agriculture has meant for our health and happiness as eaters, and looked at the growing national movement to renovate the food system. Listen to his interview on radio KWMR by downloading these mp3 files.
