Does it entirely invalidate Chris' review of Pollan's book that he never finished his degree? Not necessarily, I don't think so. He still approaches Pollan's statements critically and evaluates them on their merit. This is more than you've done... that is, read them, take them as gospel, and shout at those who call them into question.

I'm not even sure this is worth dignifying with a response. Wow.
what makes your #### not stink torque dog?

And yet you are sitting at your keyboard taking the words of the milkman as gospel. I don't even know what to say. It's mind bottling.

You seem to have this stance that unless you know everything you know nothing. Unless you're an expert on all food you can't be a food expert, thus your researched stance is dismissed and on par with the unscientifically supported stance of a journalist. That's absurd. Like a whole new level of absurd.

i quote pollan once and you get all fluffed up over it. i know he's not the be all and end all of food, but he was a source i used to try to get a point across. you don't agree with him, so be it and get over it.

Diet, probably. But I'd wager it just 'stinks less'.

Both sides of this debate should list a one week meal plan. I am curious as to what y'all eat.

Because to me it's like ....who's this guy working for? He is a fine example of everything that is wrong with the American political system right now. The bankers also have guys crawling all over government positions too (Robert Rubin, Henry Paulson).

PS I'm not a staunch organic food maniac or anything, but I have a problem with food companies not having to label GM products, people should be free to choose. You just can't look back after getting cancer and pin-point where it came from. I don't blame people for being scared and cautious.
