Has the Reddit AMA (“Ask Me Anything”) session become one of journalism’s — or at least the web’s — most vital and useful forms? I often get more out of making my way through those things than I do from scanning the websites of newspapers and magazines. Sometimes crowdsourcing really does rule.
Here’s a terrific AMA with food-and-eating guru Michael Pollan.

Great passage: “Never forget that doctors know remarkably little about nutrition– ask your doc how much training she/he had in school. It’s usually measured in minutes.”

The first question is about what Pollan is doing to combat racism in the “food movement.” I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry.

I noticed the same thing. Even worse, the reason it’s displayed first is b/c it’s the most POPULAR question.

I suddenly feel terrible for not doing anything to combat racism in blogging.

Yes, eating well is racist, along with everything else. Truth to tell, Pollen is not a big favorite of mine, but at least he recognizes that there is someting dramatically wrong with the Standard American Diet, which puts him ahead of a lot of people. Thanks for the link, PR…
