The Food Issue - a letter to the next Farmer in Chief

The New York Times recently published an open letter written by Michael Pollen to the new President-Elect. He's the author of The Omnivore's Delimna and In Defense of Food, and the letter is a great introduction to and summary of the need for a new food system in America. Pollen makes a great case for our need for a different food system - citing its impact on our health, environment and national security. The most compelling part for me is how this can impact our economy - creating millions of new jobs that directly contribute to the health and well being of all of us.

Please enjoy the article, and share with others.

I didn't have time to read the entire letter, but I printed it out and will write about it on my blog sometime soon. Beth Partin http://bethpartin.com
