Today is Thanksgiving in the United States. A day where we say thanks for all of the good things that we’ve been lucky enough to be graced with over the last year.
It’s also a day that we eat a lot of food.
Earlier today I watched this talk on Deep Agriculture given by Michael Pollan given at The Long Now foundation. He’s best known for his books which include The Omnivore’s Dilemma. This video is long, but worth listening to. It contains some absolutely fascinating anecdotes about our food system today and feels about right for the day when we celebrate the harvest.
Enjoy!
