Obama responds to Pollan's open letter
Back in October Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, wrote an open letter to the next president elect and it was published in the New York Times. Within the article, Pollan outlines why the next president may be looking at a food crisis and how next to automobiles, the American food industry is the biggest consumer of fossil fuels. Not only did Obama read the piece but he mentioned it in an interview with Time's Joe Klein.Pollan outlines for the next president the connection between cheap oil, the food industry and the rising cost of healthcare. When Obama spoke with Klein about these topics he clearly understood how these subjects were interconnected as well as how they fall under a larger umbrella of how we use and produce energy and its impact on our wallets and the environment.
Energy is a massive undertaking but it's about time we change our ways. This is why Obama has made it his first priority (after straightening out the market, of course) to address this country's energy use.
