"Food Rules" Michael Pollan

Flexitarian Michael Pollan, author of books such as The Omnivore’s Dilemma, has more than a few vegetarian friendly suggestions in his latest book, Food Rules, among the list of 64 principles to healthier eating that are accompanied with a paragraph explanation.

Michael Pollan was interviewed by Time magazine where he answered 10 questions on food, health, the environment and animals.

The author of the The Omnivore’s Dilemmna and most recently, Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual, was asked about his diet.

“I still eat meat. But I eat a lot less. I have enormous respect for vegetarians, but I believe there are ways to eat meat that are good for you and good for the environment.”

What do you think of Pollan’s response?

Are there environmentally friendly ways to produce and consume a little bit of “ethically raised” meat or non threatened fish every now and then?
