This week on BILL MOYERS JOURNAL (check local

As Americans gather to give thanks this week, food - quality, quantity, cost
- remains a national issue. BILL MOYERS JOURNAL takes a hard look at how
America's food policies - trade rules, farm subsidies, and regulation -
affect larger issues including global warming, healthcare, and even homeland
security. Bill Moyers sits down with Michael Pollan, Knight Professor of
Journalism at UC Berkeley, to discuss what directions the U.S. should pursue
in the often-overlooked question of food policy. Pollan is author of IN
DEFENSE OF FOOD: AN EATER'S MANIFESTO.
