 1 Mar 2007 @ 17:06 Michael Pollan, Whole Foods' John Mackey usher Berkeley foodies into 'ecological era' By Bonnie Azab Powell, NewsCenter | 28 February 2007 topkey Webcast: "The Past, Present and Future of Food" | 2 hours 4 minutes BERKELEY – Why on earth would 2,000 people turn out on a rainy, blustery evening to hear a conversation between a reporter and a grocer? asked the former of the latter at a sold-out Zellerbach Hall Tuesday night (Feb. 27). The answer has two parts. The speakers were not just any reporter or grocer, but Michael Pollan, best-selling science writer and UC Berkeley Knight Professor of Journalism, and John Mackey, founder and CEO of Whole Foods Market, the world's largest natural-foods grocery chain. And they have been carrying on a dialogue of sorts about the future of organic food ever since the publication last April of "The Omnivore's Dilemma," Pollan's investigation into the U.S. food chain.
