Michael Pollan is Simply Brilliant

I'm in the process of finishing Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma, which is so interesting and makes me nightly wish that I lived next door to the bounty of nature rather than across the street from a bounty of fraternity brothers. He lays it all out concisely in this past weekend's New York Times Magazine with his article "Unhappy Meals" (requires login). For anyone who's yet to experience him and both his common-sense and scientific wisdom, I highly recommend the article as an introduction.
