Michael Pollan’s ‘Cooked’: A Recipe for Change
http://ecowatch.com/2016/05/05/michael-pollan-cooked/
excerpt

   "Cooked shows how buying local foods and patronizing farmers’ markets supports an ethic of living in communion with nature and how mindful cooking and purchasing can enhance the rhythms of everyday life and connect us to seasonality, while also shifting money away from corporate processors toward farmers. The mainstream industrial food sector currently captures 80 percent of the financial profit, with only 20 percent going to the farmers. Localization keeps more money circulating in the community, rather than flowing away to the bank accounts of corporate executives who will likely invest it in yet more destruction. Such food localization supports the switch to an economic paradigm better attuned to the well-being of people and nature."
