Read this article immediately; it is a letter from Michael Pollan to Obama.

One thing I love of Pollan is his ability to bridge the gap between the past and present. Food is one of the most common denominators between every person, everywhere and in every time period…ever. We need to preserve some of our agricultural history while preventing more food related problems from popping up in the future. While I don’t think all of these suggestions will come to be, they sure would right a lot of wrongs. Even if you disagree with what Pollan is saying, you can’t deny that every will taste better.
