Michael Pollan looks at how health problems such as obesity, food poisoning (including mad cow disease), heart disease and many others are connected to the way we grow our food. We also discover that agricultural policy has enormous implications for our health, and that current USDA policies are actively promoting the same epidemic of obesity that other branches of the government are urging us to confront. Pollan is the author of In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and a young reader’s version The Omnivore’s Dilemma: the Secrets Behind What You Eat. Pollan is a contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine and the Knight Professor of Journalism at UC Berkeley. Co-sponsored by the Telfair and Clyde Caldwell Endowed Lecture Funds.
