Department of Food?

Good column today in the New York Times by Nicholas Kristof on the subject of food and Obama's pick for Secretary of Agriculture. Kristof makes a strong case for substantial reform and quotes Michael Pollan, whose book The Omnivore's Dilemma I'm currently reading. Good column. Excellent book. Given Obama's selection of Steven Chu to head the Department of Energy, I think there's a respectable chance of him throwing a curveball when it comes to Agriculture, too.
