Obama Gives Thoughts on Michael Pollan’s Times Magazine Letter
It is a good thing when president elect Barack Obama references Michael Pollan, and even better when he notices the connections between the agricultural crisis and current social woes-such as obesity, diabetes and poverty-that Pollan was elaborating on n his New York Times article, http://michaelpollan.com/article.php?id=97. I am looking forward to Obama engaging the USDA and agricultural intellectuals, like Pollan, in future discussions about agriculture and public policy, farmer support and hunger in America, and social programs and economic security.
