I'm a big fan of Michael Pollan. I've read The Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food, both of which I enjoyed immensely. I also try to catch his articles in the NY Times and elsewhere.
PBS is going to run a special based on his book, The Botany of Desire. In it, he focuses on four plants - the tulip, cannabis, the potato, and the apple - and how they have actually controlled us (humans) by enticing us just well enough to spread them around. The special will run on Wednesday, October 28th at 8 p.m.
Looks great!
