Pollan on Nightline and Michele Obama

Michael Pollan is encouraging folks to see Food, Inc. which is moving to wider distribution this weekend. Pollan was on ABC’s Nightline talking about the movie last night.

He’s also sent out the following message praising Michelle Obama for her talk this week on people’s food needs:

Friends:
Food, Inc., the documentary I worked on, is opening tomorrow in a
dozen more cities. There will be a story about the film tonight on
ABC News’ Nightline.
I also wanted to make sure you heard about the harvest event Michelle
Obama did earlier this week at the White House. You may have caught
some of the fluffy coverage on public radio and elsewhere, but the
first lady actually gave an important speech at the event, touching on
the school lunch program, local food economies, and food deserts, that
shouldn’t be overlooked by anyone interested in the food movement.
The speech is also on Youtube.
Best, Michael
