I'm going to the following event at Stanford because our food choices heavily impact the environment.

March 3, 2008
Michael Pollan
In Defense of Food: The Omnivore's Solution
7:30pm
Kresge Auditorium

Pollan teaches at UC Berkeley in The Knight Program in Science and Environmental Journalism. He is the author of The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, 2006 and his latest book In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto was published this past January.
(Co-sponsored by The Program in Human Biology.)

*If you get there early, you can eat a special meal in honor of "The Omnivore's Dilemma" at the Stanford Dining Hall.
