Michael Pollan: The Power of Cooking

Michael Pollan, “The cook has power that the eater of processed food does not. As a cook you can buy local or grass fed beef or organic. Whatever matches your values. Cooking is a great way to protest the commercialization of our lives.

“Rates of home cooking has fallen by half but viewership in cooking shows has soared. A part of us watching cooking shows is that we miss cooking.”

“To blame feminism for the decline of cooking is unfair. The food industry has been trying to get into our kitchen for more than 100 years. The more you process foods, the more profitable it is.”

“Eat food, not too much, mostly plants and I would add, cook it yourself.”

Excuse me, I have to go roast some eggplant.
