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!

This was a great clip. Michael Pollan is as interesting and entertaining speaker as well as writer. I would enjoy going to hear him speak sometime.

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."
