FOOD NEWS: Michael Pollan: In Defense Of Food
February 6th, 2010 | 
Author: 
Michael Pollan’s new book, In Defense of Food, provides the backdrop for his talk at the Bagdad Theater in Portland, Oregon, and this prior interview with Deborah Kane of the environmental nonprofit organization, Ecotrust. Remarkably, Mr. Pollan is talking about a defense of food in a literal sense: it’s increasingly difficult to escape from eating foods that are food-like substances (processed foods), but are not whole (real) foods. We have come to look upon “nutritionism” as a valid means of determining (healthy) value in our diet; food has been reduced to its composition of good and bad nutrients, but are we really eating healthier? In part one, we see how simple changes in food labeling requirements can influence consumer behavior, and how food manufacturer’s apply overwhelming pressure to effect laws that ultimately protect their own interests.

Smoke – The Amazing Hamster Storing Food
Smoke – my hamster- stuffing her little cheeks with yummies for a late night snack.
She is a syrian hamster and we made this video when she was one year old. She lived another year and a half before she passed away from old age. This did not hurt her.
She was a very sweet hamster and did not mind being held and loved rolling in her ball. She got out of her cage three times – but we just left the cage open and she returned the next night.
She was the best hamster ever.
The music used in the video are songs from Soundtrack Pro.
