A friend sent me this link by Michael Pollan, whose books you have seen reviewed here from time to time. The article is an interesting critique of the food industry in the United States and some suggestions for improvements. While I think some of these are worthwhile ideas, they probably present certain difficulties of their own. Pollan's ideal is one for each person to strive for, but whether you can remake an entire industry in their image remains to be seen.
