Michael Pollan Likes Grass-Fed Beef
Our man Mikey P. to the Pollan has a new tome out-- Food Rules: An Eater's Manual--and it looks like a good read with lots of fun illustrations. Sarah Henry did a nice interview with the food guru and sustainable agriculture advocate over at Berkleyside.com. As he's done in the past, Pollan expressed his enthusiasm for grass-fed beef:
What gives you hope on the food front?
I see movement happening all around the country, like grass-fed beef in supermarkets and young people taking up farming. I’m now asked to speak in places like Troy, New York, Cleveland, and Lubbock, Texas. They aren’t typical food towns. People in their 20s are as engaged with this issue as their parents, whether it’s for health, the environment, or both. I have a lot of faith that as consumers we can change things by voting with our forks.
We need to get Mr. P. down to Uruguay and Argentina to see how we raise our healthy and delicious grass-fed, pasture-raised beef. Anyone have his email?
