From Farm Fresh Rhode Island:
Michael Pollan talk
Thursday, February 21 | 6:00PM - 8:00PM | Providence, RI
Michael Pollan, award-winning author of “In Defense of Food” and “The Omnivore’s Dilemma”
What should we eat? is a question most people for most of history have had little trouble answering. You ate what tradition (aka your mother) and nature dictated. Now, we have something called "nutritionism," an ideology promoted by science, the food industry, government and the media that has hopelessly confused the issue and done nothing for our health, except to make it worse. Pollan traces the rise and triumph of nutritionism and the Western Diet, before proposing an alternative approach to eating that promises to improve both our health and the health of the environment. A book signing will follow.
Hosted by Brown University at the Salomon Center: Brown St. & Waterman St., Providence, RI.
