Food For Thought Festival: Michael Pollan at 200 Block Of Martin Luther King Jr Blvd
Famed author, professor, and activist Michael Pollan will be barnstorming Madison this week (he’ll also be at the Kohl Center on Sept. 24), but the Food For Thought Festival is probably the most fitting setting for his increasingly influential foodie views. (He's scheduled to speak at 10 a.m.) In recent years, Pollan has gained celebrity for his books The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense Of Food, the latter of which asserts that much of what we eat today is, in fact, not food in any traditional sense of the word. The Food For Thought Festival is REAP Food Group’s annual forum to celebrate eating more pleasurably, healthfully, and sustainably, and it dovetails perfectly with Pollan’s thesis that what and how people eat is vital, as it’s the single most important link we have with the natural world.
