Michael Pollan is at it again, writing about food. These "food rules" were great:

HOLY CARP!!!

I think the "Don't drink alone" rule applies to eating as well. I eat a lot more when I'm by myself. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

I read Omnivore's Dilemma and loved it. It forever changed the way I think about the food I eat. I also heard him speak last year at Bates College. I think he is the brightest light out there when it comes to changing attitudes en masse with regard to sustainable agriculture. |
