Tue, 02 Jun 2009 19:23:46 +0000 http://www.ecorazzi.com/?p=16912#comment-317184 I wish Pollan and Bittman would make a distinction between factory farming of cows and the sort of farming -- organic, pasture-raised, grass-fed, i.e., "sustainable" -- done by, e.g., Joel Salatin of Polyface. Then they might not reach the conclusion of "eat less meat" but "eat GOOD meat." The enemy is not meat-eaters; it's the factory farming industry.

When the opportunity arises to have a discussion like this on TV, it seems almost a waste to not really take advantage of it. However, maybe he was trying to connect with the masses and not come off as radical. OR... maybe he's more of a moderate regarding these issues, which goes to show how bad the system really is if a moderate feels that way. Go Bill Maher! ~Kristen Happy to see that although I wish Michael Pollan had been a little more passionate about some of the issues.

I know because I tried to influence people by showing them the information without coming off strong or pushy. It is too hard for people to make a mental adjustment. We cater to laziness and a lazy lifestyle. People may have ambition for a few weeks but the just don't care that much to do something about it. Most of these people just live a life that is too busy to worry. This should be the most important issues because this affects everything else daily. I try and I try to show the truth. Only the few see the light. It is like everyone is walking into a black hole and there are only a few who manage to figure a way out. Sad but true. I will keep trying... Hope is on the way.
