LeOnion send this link to me this morning and I felt somewhat inclined to post it here today because I thought it was very enlightening and quite entertaining. Michael Pollan explained his “eater’s manifesto” at Google last March. It is an hour-long lecture and Q&A session. He speaks about food, health, culture, dieting and why we’re getting fatter as a nation.
Michael Pollan is a professor of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is also director of the Knight Program in Science and Environmental Journalism.
If you are interested in reading his books, you can buy them from Amazon.com.
