Comment on Food with a Dash of Politics by teresa

I’d always frowned on the CAP in the EU, and how France disproportionately benefits from the ag subsidies. But then I drove through the farmlands of France and ate the local food and everything was so good and cheap that now I think farm subsidies make sense if it protects places like France. Not if they protect crappy farms who produce mediocre products though. Just France.

Comment on Traveling Healthy by Susan

I travel for business as well but I go from one extreme to the other. From September thru November I travel constantly and practically live at airports and hotels that do not have quality restaurants. I don’t have time to exercize so any healthy lifestyle routines are out the window. Then at other times, I travel to meet with the senior level clients, which includes taking them out for dinner, usually at expensive steak places where the arteries are clogged instantly. There doesn’t seem to be a happy medium.

Comment on Wedding Cake Not Healthy by Susan

The wedding cake is one type of food which you can splurge on, and the cakes at the Pastry Garden was heavenly. Your choice was excellent!

If I were a healthy food, I would be a shiny red apple. If I were a junk food, I would be a white chocolate.

If I were a healthy food, I would have to be garlic hummus. Tasty.

If were a junk food, I think I’d have to be Ben and Jerry’s New York Superfudge Chunk. It’s “all natural,” but it’s not healthy to eat it all at once!

Comment on Pollan’s Food Fight by Linda

I just wanted to comment on Michael Pollan. If I could afford it, I would buy a copy for every person I know and love.
How did we get so far away from food? Well, Mr. Pollan nails it.
I always want to recommend “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” to people, but I think it must be a bit ‘weighty’ Unless one’s career is centered around food…healthy food.
So, I was pleased when his new book was published.
I am always happy when others give it props!!

Hi, Rebecca,
I interviewed Michael Pollan for my documentary on food (FOOD FIGHT). He is *the* expert on the politics of food in our country.
If you get a chance, please check out my website-www.foodfightthedoc.com
It has all the info on my film, which will be coming to Festivals in 2008. If you are based in NYC, you should know that I interviewed Dan Barber and Marion Nestle and shot at the Union Sq Farmer’s Market….thanks, Chris

if i were a healthy food, i’d be an artichoke heart. difficult to get to, but once you get to it it’s great!

as a junk food, i think i’d be good as a chocolate brownie a la mode.

If I were a healthy food, I’d be dark chocolate. If I were junk food, I’d be milk chocolate…mixed with anything from coconut to peanut butter to almonds!

For a healthy food I would be a pink lady apple
Junk would definitely be a chocolate cake donut.

My daughter would probably have the same answers as you, she loves broccoli and apple pie… not together though!
