Pollan vs Hurst

From Iowa 's public television' From Market to Market ', Pollan and Hurst discussed the future of agriculture (a link to a 10 - minute video including transcripts).

... Nutrition is only one aspect of a major discussion about the overall food system in the United States. Production agriculture has been attributed to pollution from the national waterway to the increasing Westline of Americans.

An outspoken person who criticized the American food system, Michael Poland used what the farmer Missouri farmer Blake Hurst called. Illusion of omnivores to Poland

Producer Andrew Batt and the two men studied the advantages of agricultural production and submitted a report.

Here is a link to the famous article of Hearst: omnivore animal delusion for agricultural intellectuals

Hearst contends with Michael Poland, but Poland is just a reporter here - a wise, rhetorical journalist. People behind Polan influenced the story of Hearst 's anger - Hurst' s objections did not reply to them. Because they are also farmers - some of them are long-term farmers, some of them are new lands. They are food workers, some of them live and work under conditions that later let Upton Sinclairs write down their state (Eric Sc ​​Hlosser is one of them). And there are many others who care about what we eat, the way we grow, and whether we can do better well for various reasons.

Today, I watched Polan and Hurst from the Iowa state public television debate "Future of Agriculture" premiered in July 2010. It uses the fragment of Micheal Pollan, the best-selling author of the book "The Omnivore" to talk about what he thinks the direction of agriculture needs to move towards the future and compare it to the idea of ​​Brookhurst I will. Farmers from the state, he disputed Polish books. This video is a good example of the parties' claims and does not appear to be advantageous for either party. I understand the two aspects of the discussion, but I feel that Hurst may better understand this issue than Poland. While watching the clip, I think Polan is very happy, and even if he never farmed in his life, he knows the farmer the best I think. Perhaps this is why Hearst is strongly opposed to the idea of ​​"omnivorous illusion". It deprives of genetically modified organisms and chemicals, Hurst believes there is no way to keep the price low
