For your weekend edification

Edification? Few do it better. Michael Pollan gives a talk on Ted (link). You can download it in audio, a video, or watch it online. One of his insights is completely hilarious... and intriguing. ENJOY!

  2. Hi Kate,
    I laughed out loud at his "conspiracy theory" about corn's intentions.
    He has such a lively creative mind!
    I think his advice is top notch:
    "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
