Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Salon.com recently featured a an interview with food politics writer and frequent
NYT Magazine contributor Michael Pollan. The discussion focused mainly on Pollan's new book, The Omnivore's
Dilemma. Like Pollan's The Botany of Desire, The Omnivore's Dilemma appears to take a few core
examples—in this case, four American meals—and discuss them in great detail. Pollan breaks down the the
economic and political components of meals from McDonald's and Whole Foods, as well as organic farms and foraged
materials. In the Salon interview, he outlines some of his views on big agriculture and big organic farming, misleading
labeling at stores like Whole Foods, and shifting hardwired cravings for fast food.

If interested Organically Speaking a Seattle base website has released a conversation with Michael Pollan podcast (audio conversation).
Some Podcast Show Note Questions:
Q) Why the price difference between conventional food and organic and how do we go about bringing down the Organic prices?
Q) How can small local organic farmers remain local in a capitalistic system?
Q) What is the "Food Web" you briefly touch on your book, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals.

All the best,
