Great Stuff on Food and Food Policy

If you missed the Farmer in Chief letter in the New York Times, take a peek.  It's good stuff and was written to the President-Elect.  Great insights to the connections between food, public health, the environment, and national security.  It was written by Michael Pollan who wrote Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food.

I stumbled across a discussion with Pollan today on PBS's website.  Bill Moyers discusses these topics in detail with Pollan.  If you've got 40 minutes to burn, you can find it here.  There is a particularly good segment on a community garden in East Brooklyn at the beginning of the second part.
