Mackey-Pollan Webcast up
Posted by Jay on Saturday, 10 March 2007
The fascinating presentation and discussion by John Mackey (CEO of Whole Foods) and Michael Pollan (writer of The Omnivore’s Dilemma) from a couple weeks back is now available on webcast at webcast.berkeley.edu.
If you’re at all interested in where your food comes from and the quality and history of what you eat — this is an amazing presentation and discussion. The presentation part is by John Mackey, laying out his vision of the state of food as a complement to the vision Pollan laid out in The Omnivore’s Dilemma. It’s followed by a discussion between the two of them.
The event was held on campus at Cal, and sold out faster than a Phish reunion concert at halftime of Big Game. It’s a really compelling and invigorating exchange of ideas and addresses a lot of what we’re attempting to accomplish here.

Very interesting viewing - thanks for posting the links Jay.
I wonder when color TV will catch on up there in Berkeley?
