bmed, you aren’t able to negate his arguments with any evidence, any facts. His books are littered with both, evidence and fact. All you’re doing is bashing him without being able to negate his arguments. You seem like the bigger joke here.
pollan is a joke. …
pollan is a joke. as an avid gardener he wants everyone to adopt a more down to earth method of food production, literally. he does not take into consideration the human labour, increased costs, and low yields asociated with such practices. small scale agriculture/gardening will always remain a luxury for those who can afford it
ur right. his …
ur right. his calling for a return to more responsible agriculture will increase the cost of food through higher production costs and food shortages. he may not be part of a conspiracy but this is whathe is indirectly supporting.
we also cannot expect ppl to slave away as farmers. large scale agriculture is theonly way we can meet global demand fo low cost food.

Michael Pollan takes a little from this book, a little bit from that news article and his experience from gardening to become an expert on how to change all the health, food and environmental problems of the world.
If he would do more research to “connect the dots” rather than his simplistic message sprinkled with the same impressive sounding adjectives and the same stories, he would be more believable. Don’t forget he is a writer who makes his living selling article and speeches.

The era of cheap food is over? The era of cheap oil is over? Seems Pollan is wrong once again.
It seems that Pollan is always advocating for increased food prices just like most liberals will argue to increase oil taxes to keep oil high. Higher prices accomplishes what regulation can not. His attempt to reduce food production thereby increasing food prices is yet another measure used to control the individual. If they can make your food cost enough, they can completely control your diet.
