Author and activist Michael Pollan is a passionate advocate for sustainable food. In his compelling PopTech talk, he explores how our industrial food system keeps us overly dependent on fossil fuels, destroys our environment, and makes us sick. Breaking this cycle requires changing our relationship to food – and eating more meals together.

It’s very unfortunate that the currently accepted agricultural system implements non-sustainable methods of food production and that the average consumer naturally tends to buy and eat foods in the way that was accurately described in this video. I commend this idea of "voting with your fork" and feel that this would only be possible if more educational sources like this one were as readily available as commercials that tempt consumers back to habits of the post-industrialization era.
