Michael Pollan on sustainable food

Part of the many influences driving me to collect articles about sustainability is Michael Pollan, esp. his book "The Botany of Desire."  His mantra -- eat food, not too much, mostly plants -- resonated with me and fit into my vegetarian life, a life I'd started after reading "Diet for a Small Planet" by Francis Moore Lappé in the late '70s.


I took Pollan's advice to heart and over 2 years I lost 60 pounds.  (I was also inspired by my cousin, and by Bill Clinton, each of whom had lost a lot of weight.)


Here's a short video by Michael Pollan:
