Interview with an Omnivore
May 31st, 2006 6:12 pm by KellyLast month I crossposted a DawnWatch alert about Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, who was appearing on NPR’s “Fresh Air.”
This month Grist Magazine scored an interview with the omnivore:
Ever wonder where the food on your plate came from? Writer Michael Pollan wondered, and has spent some 15 years finding out, tracing edibles back to their sources and uncovering a stomach-turning web of industrialization, government subsidies, and ignorant, unhealthy eaters. With his writing for The New York Times Magazine and a quartet of books — the latest is The Omnivore’s Dilemma — Pollan has become a celeb among foodies. He dropped by Grist’s office to chat with David Roberts about industrial organic, ubiquitous corn, and the cult of convenience.
