EAT ME

If you've read Michael Pollan and you've seen FOOD, INC., chances are you're not super-sizing your meals or expecting to find a movie-marketing doo-dad in your lunchbox.

However, chances are you still have many friends and family members convinced "organic" is just a Madison Avenue buzzword to bilk city-slickers out of a few extra bucks. And, sometimes they're right. Nevertheless, these folks remain transfixed with trans-fats, stuffing themselves with "food-like substances" that have shelf lives longer than the halflife of Plutonium 239. My mantra: if it won't rot, don't eat it.

So, how do we introduce the issues surrounding organic food and farming? Consider this: EAT ME That's the title of The Warren Report's half-hour special showcasing the documentary, THE REAL DIRT ON FARMER JOHN as well as interviews with the movie's eponymous subject, author Nina Planck (Real Food: What to Eat and Why) and Colin McCrate, founder of The Seattle Urban Farm Company. Together, they use facts, fun and implosion therapy to get me over my fear of dirt and my melon-picking ignorance.

Watch the entire show, EAT ME, for yourself, for FREE, on-line now — via iTunes, Libsyn or The Warren Report. Then, share with friends who still believe the tip of the food pyramid is comprised of Ding Dongs and Pixy Stix.

Bon appetit!
