Farmer in Chief

I feel compelled to post the link to this fantastic article by Michael Pollan to the future President elect (he wrote it for the New York Times Food Issue on October 9th, so Obama had yet to be elected). It is a fantastic article giving advice to our future President about all things concerning food, food policy, and ultimately culminating in a suggestion to hiring, in addition to a White House Chef, a White House Farmer. It is a compelling argument, and we were reassured at the US delegation meeting at Terra Madre that Barack Obama had already been sent multiple copies of the article. Here's to hope! Click on Michael's picture to be redirected to the New York Times Magazine article. While there, check out the other food issue articles - it was a great issue of the magazine. Enjoy! Looking forward to seeing all of you at Pauline's on Sunday!
