Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling
When I was a kid my grandpa would take me fishing at my great-uncle's Christmas Tree farm, where there was a pond. He would fly-fish while I would fish with a bamboo pole. Once I caught 5 little sunfishes which we took back to the house, he cleaned them and fried them in a skillet. They were delicious and I was exhausted but proud of myself!
In Videos: Michael Pollan on 'The Colbert Report'
I don't see Michael Pollan "politely taking a sip" of the soda- I see him sniffing it though. Where does he take the sip?
On the breastfeeding, the point isn't whether mothers who fed formula are to be blamed or shamed, the point is that at every level of the "food pyramid", from breastmilk to soft drinks to cheese, we've been sold a bill of goods by those who stand to make money in the processing of foods. Eating whole foods that we've grown ourselves (or bought from someone who did) and cooking it ourselves makes no money for the processors. So they told us that processed and packaged and bleached and fake were healthier and safer for us- sometimes lying outright so that they could make money. And our government participated in this. Thomas Jefferson would say it is our duty as Americans to stand up and protest against abuses by the government against its own people (or any people). That's why we are Americans now and not British :)

I agree with carriebwc's comment but think that these reviews should also list the ingredients for these packaged products. Serious Eaters should know that they aren't really eating chocolate mousse from this box but corn syrup and soy products and various other chemicals and dubious ingredients: Fructose, Dutched Cocoa (Processed with Alkali), Hydrogenated Coconut and Palm Kernel Oil, Maltodextrin, Sugar, Modified Potato Starch, Gelatin, Monoglycerides, Acetylated Monoglycerides, Sodium Caseinate (Milk), Artificial Flavor, Salt, Sodium Alginate.
