Bill Moyers journal. Michael Pollan's national food fight
(DVD) 

Host, Bill Moyers.

Broadcast date: November 28, 2008.

In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers takes a hard look at how America's trade rules, farm subsidies, and regulations affect larger issues such as global warming, healthcare, and even homeland security. A discussion with Michael Pollan, a Knight Professor of Journalism at UC Berkeley, yields insights into the direction he believes the U.S. should pursue on the often-overlooked question of food policy, while a segment on the East New York Farmers Market illustrates a viable alternative to agribusiness-as-usual. Also included is an essay that acknowledges the grave economic wounds America has inflicted upon itself while affirming, with guarded optimism, the nation's historical ability to recover.

Closed-captioned.
