The omnivore's appearance
Michael Pollan is going to play professor for a day at Goucher College.
The author and industrial-foods critic will give a lecture: "In Defense of Food: The Omnivore's Solution."
The event, at 8 p.m. on April 13, is free and open to the public, but tickets must be reserved in advance by calling the Goucher box office at (410) 337-6333 or e-mailing boxoffice@goucher.edu.
After the lecture, Pollan will sign books.
His most recent work is "Food Rules." Pollan also is author of "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto" and "The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals."

I saw "author" and thought, Oh no another bummer bring-down like Hilda Flummenstein, author of such books as:
Foods That Kill
Why Do You Make the Baby Animals Cry?
Oh My God! You're Eating THAT?
That's Disgusting, Do You KNOW What They Put In THAT?
Meat Is WORSE Than Murder
and
Vegan Vigilante - The Reckoning

1, 3, and 4 might be somewhat accurate. But Michael Pollan is certainly no vegan. In Omnivore's Delimma, he chronicles hunting and killing a wild boar for one of his meals.

I'd like to go, but I'd have to go alone. The wife, a Goucher alum, has been boycotting events at her alma mater since the Gophers went co-ed.

Wow... way to hold a grudge. That's been since, what, 1983? In my gopher days, I remember going down to the archives and seeing a T-shirt which said, "Better dead than co-ed."

I had no idea until now that the Goucher mascot was the Gopher.

Link spam at 3:13 PM! (Another shill for what is probably Chinese counterfeit footwear.)
