Thoughtful as usual. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=13 Mon Aug 03 11:53:58 -0700 2009 77061 bear 1 4913663 Does it have any connection to his article in the NYT Magazine yesterday? I'm still working on my letter to the editor on that one!

I didn't get to read the article beforehand, so I had to "read" between the lines during the interview. I was quite surprised by the statistics he quoted about people spending an incredibly short amount of time in meal prep, something like twenty-seven minutes a day cooking and four minutes cleaning up. I'm going to search the article out now. Mon Aug 03 12:11:32 -0700 2009 4913663 77061 bear 3 4913745 There's a CH thread on it - on this board. Mon Aug 03 12:23:13 -0700 2009 4913709 10985 MMRuth 4 4913958 Ah, thanks. I did scan the titles and saw a Michael Pollan thread, but since the interview only briefly mentions Julia, I assumed it was from a different piece and didn't read it. Great observations in the thread. Mon Aug 03 13:16:50 -0700 2009 4913745 77061 bear 1 4916719 Lovely interview - Pollan did indeed give the gist of his NYT piece from last Sunday. But the host was Dave Davies substituting for Terry Gross. Tue Aug 04 11:59:35 -0700 2009 4913640 1099129 sudinb 2 4917630 Of course, it was Dave Davies. I guess I was so into the interview that I spaced out on who was giving it! Tue Aug 04 16:17:40 -0700 2009 4916719 77061 bear
