Julie, I read that article and have to agree, it was quite an ordeal, though worth it. It's his opening line in Unhappy Meals that sticks with me:
"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
yes! well, that is sort of at the center of his whole thing. you can't tell from this little picture, but the yellow tape around the head of lettuce on the cover of "in defense of food" has that mantra written on it. read the interview! it's short, but he mentions all of that.
