Michael Pollan Letter to Barack Obama

We need to encourage major communication between these two!!

Some basic exerpts from the letter:

1. food self-sufficiency related directly to national security
2. cheap food isn't really cheap and requires large quantities of oil and is only possible due to questionable legislation
   
3. Localize food production and distribution
4. Solar vs. Oil/Fertilizer
5. Crop rotations vs Oil/Fertilizer
6. Emphasis on polyculture

It goes on and he delivers his message far better than I could ever paraphrase it:
