How to be Healthy

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! interviews Michael Pollan on the issue of America’s food supply. Among many other things, they discuss disease outbreaks, the remarkable ability of agribusiness to co-opt organic terminology, the new Secretary of Agriculture, school lunches, and the relationship between food and health care.  This interview was actually recorded way back in May, but I somehow managed to miss it then, so you get to hear about it now.

Pollan has a knack for distilling a lot of good advice into pithy epigrams. Notably, “Don’t buy any food that you’ve ever seen advertised, ” and “Eat food.  Not too much.  Mostly plants.”
