TreeHugger colleague Jenna Watson and I went to hear Michael Pollan speak in Toronto earlier this week. I'm a long time fan of Pollan's, going all the way back to his book Second Nature published in 1991. Regular Planet Green readers will have been introduced to Pollan's work through Collin's review of The Omnivore's Dilemma (2006, Penguin Press), and Lloyd's review of In Defense of Food (2008, Penguin Press).

It seems that Mr. Pollan and the writers at Planet Green are on the same wavelength. In one of the very first posts on this site Jasmin talked about ensuring you have healthy food. We have covered eating more vegetarian meals, getting your kids to eat vegetables as well as teaching them to cook, production issues surrounding meat, shopping at your local farmer's market or growing your own garden, the joy of eating real food, eating together at a proper table, as well as the simple advice to cook dinner.
