Katie that’s a new one to me – oxalic acid? Okay, I still have SO much to learn!

I was tempted by the book this week and caved (for $11! I’m crying that I could have gotten it for half that!) and read it in 45 minutes. Of 64 rules, I only had problems with 3 (maybe 4). Two are about meat/saturated fat, as you expected. The other is “drink your spinach water” in which he recommends using the veggie cooking water in other parts of the meal. He doesn’t realize the oxalic acid in spinach water is toxic, I guess… A fun read nonetheless, and very manageable.

He said: “bypass?”

To which Jon uncontrollably laughed and said, “good one!”

We never found out what Jon was actually confessing to, though. I bet it would have been equally as funny.

I missed what Pollan quipped at the end when Stewart said “every time after the show I eat a triple.. quadruple..”. Did anyone get it?

I’m glad you brought that up. I’m concerned that he’s headed the “vegetarian” route. He’s never been a great fan of good fats, and seems to be moving that direction more instead of less. Look, I think he’s a great real food spokesperson, and not many of us would have his grace sitting in the chair opposite Jon Stewart. But something struck me as strange in this interview. It wasn’t until hours later that it hit me: with food safety in the news, he didn’t mention meat once.

Very good point about health insurance companies actually caring about our health. That’s the best reason I’ve heard for getting the health care bill passed.
