Wake Up, America!
If you’re interested in food politics, you’ll want to check out this week’s ALL FOOD, ALL THE TIME issue of The Nation. (I just got a copy fresh off the stands yesterday and will be devouring it with equal parts pleasure and consternation.)
[via Gristmill]
Green LA Girl breaks down the magazine’s feature, “One Thing to Do About Food,” which features thoughtful mastications from our top food and nutrition advocates, including Marion Nestle and Michael Pollan.
While you’re chewing on that, Grist rounds up the fresh crop of books enlightening us on where our food comes on.

While not in the same line, I think you might appreciate Glass, Paper, Beans by Leah Hager Cohen. It’s a rather interesting look at how modern culture has lost it’s link to “from where things/food come”.

Hello Everyone,
If interested Organically Speaking a Seattle-base website has released a conversation with Michael Pollan podcast (audio conversation). Interesting tidbits on farmers markets, CSAs, and more!
Some Podcast Show Note Questions:
Q) Why the price difference between conventional food and organic and how do we go about bringing down organic food prices?
Q) How can small local organic farmers remain local in a capitalistic system?
Q) What is the “Food Web” you briefly touch on in your book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals.
