The Omnivore's Dilemma

Speaking of food and being mindful of the way you eat, we saw a great interview on The 7:30 Report last week with Michael Pollan, author of "The Omnivore's Dilemma".

You can view the transcript and watch the interview here. These were my favourite quotes from the interview:

You know, if the whole world tries to eat meat the way the Americans and the Aussies do, we'll need 2.3 more worlds to feed them.

You've got to distinguish the real foods from the edible food like substances.

We also can look to other cultures that have learned how to navigate a culture of abundance. The Japanese, for example, they have a rule called hara hachi bu, eat until your four-fifths full. What a radical idea to not eat until your full. But many cultures have that rule.
