Pollan: How the Food Industry Changed the Way We Eat

[Guest guest]

You can read the interview at the link above.

Pollan also wrote " The Botany of Desire " which is an *incredible* book

about how four plants--the tulip, the apple, marijuana, and the

potato--shaped human evolution by appealing to our desires for beauty,

food, and escapism, thereby enticing us to grow and breed them for our

purposes. Pollan raises the question: are people cultivating these

plants, or is it the other way around?

Very relevant to our topic here, IMO. )
