Just finished reading an interview of Michael Pollan by Tom Philpott. The entire discussion is great, but here’s a particularly interesting excerpt: TP: The advice to “eat food, not much, mostly plants” is deceptively simple—how do you apply that in a society that’s become addicted to convenience food?

Summer is winding down; the season’s end is most apparent to me in the shorter days, cooler nights, and dying cicadas… Actually, I’ve never noticed dying cicadas before now, but figured I just wasn’t around many trees before.
