Corn Is Everywhere

Yesterday, I listened to an interview with Michael Pollan about his letter to the President, Farmer In Chief, which appeared in the New York Times. I heartily agree with much of what he said-- in fact, many of his ideas are similar to things my dad has been saying for years. {Listen to the interview here.} 

I then spent the evening watching King Corn, a documentary following two college grads who decided to plant an acre of corn and trace it from seed to dinner plate. The results were a little sickening, and have left me eyeing the contents of my pantry suspiciously. {Watch a preview here.}  

Conclusion: I've got to overhaul my eating habits. The whole foods movement is sounding very appealing right about now.
