Analyzing What We Eat: Author and Food Activist Michael Pollan

Story air date: Thursday, January 26, 2012

Author and self described

Michael Pollan thinks of himself as a writer, a professor…and eater. But many people would call him a food activist. The author of controversial books like "The Omnivore’s Dilemma" and "In Defense of Food," Pollan is known for his vivid critiques of industrial agriculture and the modern American diet. He recently spoke with Illinois Public Radio’s Véronique LaCapra about his views on food and agriculture – starting with what he sees as a healthy diet.
