This editorial from yesterday New York Times by Michael Pollan is another perspective to the whole health care debate that warrants out attention. This will make you think: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/10/opinion/10pollan.html?th&emc=th If you have not read his book In Defense of Food – An Eaters Manifesto I highly recommend it. I am reading it for the second time.

What I find interesting is Pollan’s premise that our increasingly centralized food system has made us more susceptible to ‘catastrophe’. He promotes more local and regional (competition) food sources. If you apply the same premise to our current healthcare debate, it’s easy to see why ‘big’ government takeover would not be desireable.

Have you read DNA the secret of life by James Watson (He discovered dna).
Great book.
