    Michael Pollan Looks Back at Food in the Last Decade

    We may be throwing around the terms “food system” and “food policy” with reckless abandon now, but they weren’t such a part of the lexicon 10 years ago when Michael Pollan published The Omnivore’s Dilemma .

    We may be throwing around the terms “food system” and “food policy” with reckless abandon now, but they weren’t such a part of the lexicon 10 years ago when Michael Pollan published The Omnivore’s Dilemma. The book has become required reading for anyone wanting to know more about where their food comes from. A new edition of the James Beard-Award winning title prompted us to give Pollan a call to see what’s changed in food in the past decade.
