Michael Pollan in Seattle

On January 12, Michael Pollan spoke at Seattle Arts and Lectures to a sold out house of 2,500. Even in a foodie town like Seattle, Pollan seemed to find it remarkable that he, as a food journalist and author, drew such a crowd. His talk was peppered with readings from his most recent book In Defense of Food.
During the questions from the audience, a young doctor serving people with low incomes asked what could be done to help his patients to eat better, and if Pollan's message was just intended for people with the luxury of extra time and money. Pollan's response included the thought that teaching people to cook is a good start. Go Operation Frontline!
