Sunday, March 23rd, 2008
This is a story about a third generation dairy farmer facing a critical choice: continue raising his herd of dairy cows practicing conventional farming, or switch over to an organic dairy operation. It took him 2 years to decide, but as he looks back upon that decision, he considers it the best decision he ever made.

In this segment, Michael Pollan talks about how we (Americans) have come to view food through the lens of nutritionism.
