Michael Pollan on Food and Cooking—Fire, Water, Air, and Earth —
06 May 2013 —
Michael Pollan's new book is "Cooked—A Natural History of Transformation." Pollan argues that regaining control of your cooking is the single most important step anyone can take to help make our food system—and their lives—healthier and more sustainable. "There is a deliberate effort [by corporations] to undermine food culture to sell us processed food," Pollan says. He adds, "Slow, [good] food is about recovering that space around the family and keeping the influence of food manufacturers outside of the house. ... The family meal is very important. It's the nursery of democracy."
