Bill Moyers recently interviewed food expert Michael Pollan about the ideal candidate for Secretary of Agriculture as President-Elect Obama names his cabinet. If it were up to Moyers, Pollan would be named, but Pollan disagrees. To see why, you can watch the interview or read the transcript online.

Pollan's books include In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto and The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, both of which offer a wealth of interesting information about food and eating in an entertaining style.
