Michael Pollan

I started reading The Omnivore's Dilemma, and it's horrific and fascinating. He doesn't make himself sound angry, just thought-provoking and curious. So yeah everyone should read it. Anyway, so our food system's all messed up and irrational and not sustainable or environmentally healthy. I wonder... if people write these books, write these blogs, put on local farmer's markets, eat more organic... How does real change come about? There's this huge hurdle the system has created so that only people with lots of yummy $$$ can get policies written for them. Go into ibanking, make bank, and become an influential donor?
