  2. Is It Time For You To Go On An ‘Information Diet’? : NPR

    We’re used to thinking of "obesity" in physical terms — unhealthful weight that clogs our arteries and strains our hearts. But there’s also an obesity of information that clogs our eyes and our minds and our inboxes: unhealthful information deep-fried in our own preconceptions.

    In The Information Diet, open-source-Internet activist Clay Johnson makes the case for more "conscious consumption" of news and information. Johnson, the founder of Blue State Digital, which provided the online strategy for the 2008 Obama campaign, talks with NPR’s Scott Simon about ways to slim and stretch our minds.

  3. David Carr: The News Diet Of A Media Omnivore : NPR

    David Carr, who writes the Media Equation column for The New York Times, says that despite cuts, the future of journalism has never looked brighter. "I look at my backpack that is sitting here and it contains more journalistic firepower than the entire newsroom that I walked into 30-40 years ago," he says.

  5. The Past, Present, and Future of Food

    Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods, continue their year-long public conversation about the future of organic food and agricultural sustainability. In front of a sold-out crowd at UC Berkeley on February 27, 2007, they cover some of the inconvenient truths about the world’s food systems. Mackey begins with a 45-minute presentation about unsustainable agricultural and food distribution practices, as well as Whole Foods’ efforts to improve them. (A note of caution: The audio lecture includes brief descriptions of animal cruelty and harsh human working conditions, and so may not be work- or family-safe.) He and Pollan then continue the discussion they started shortly after the publication of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and which continues on their respective Web logs.

  6. The Things We Eat…

    Today we’re going to take a collective look at all the conflicting warnings and exhortations we hear about what we should and shouldn’t eat. It seems everyone has some pet theory that you shouldn’t drink milk, or you have to eat organic, or you shouldn’t eat "processed" foods, or you must only eat raw. There are always explanations for why this is: We didn’t "evolve" to eat this or that; it isn’t "natural" to eat something; our digestive systems weren’t meant to handle a certain thing. I know what you’re thinking: How is it possible to cover all those possible claims in a single Skeptoid episode? We’re going to do it by stepping back from all of the specific claims and specific foods, way back. We’re going to look at food as a whole, and study what it’s made of, what those bits are, see what we need and what we don’t. And then, with this as a foundation, we’ll have the tools to effectively examine any given eating philosophy.
