Michael Pollan on What’s Wrong with Environmentalism

You’ll want to read San Francisco-based journalist Kate Cheney Davidson’s recent interview with Michael Pollan on alternet.org.

“…there’s a direct connection between the health of the soil, the health of the plants, the health of the animals, and you as eater.
