Dale -Steve's rant motivated me to ask my local expert, my partner Beth. Here's what she had to say... "Eat Food, Not too Much, Mostly Plants" - Michael Pollanand "Moderation" She is right on, by my measure. Though I *do* like to be dramatic about our total lack of moderation and sense making. Old fans of Michael Pollan's writing, my wife and I lived in Berkeley the year he was finishing The Omnivore's Dilemma and got to hear him speak on it before it was published. His 2008, In Defense of Food Slam-dunked it with that great quote "Eat Food, Not too Much, Mostly Plants" . Some may have noticed when he was being "promoted" for about a week earlier this year as the perfect Secretary of Food (Agriculture) rather than former Iowa Governer Tom Vilsack who is clearly the "Secretary of AgriBusiness". "Moderation: moderation in all things, including Moderation!"and "Hope is not doing something because we think it will turn out well, but doing the right thing whether we expect it to turn out well or not!"- Steve |
