Ok, so maybe I was the only one waiting for this moment… Oprah doing a show about our food system!
As I mentioned on Tuesday, I was SO EXCITED about Oprah doing a show with Michael Pollan and Alicia Silverstone. The Oprah effect did not disappoint. I have since had one friend decide to make the switch to a vegetarian diet (you go girl!) and another ask to borrow my Food, Inc. DVD to explore the issues further.
Now, I know I’m not a billionare, I don’t have my own TV show, and Tom Cruise has never jumped on my couch, but how come when I tell you our food system is a mess, it’s just Angie ranting and raving, but when Oprah says it, it’s real? No big deal.
Honestly though, this is exactly why I was SO EXCITED about this show. Because I knew she could reach people in a way that no one else could. And I can only hope that more than my two friends were reached by this show and will choose to think about where their food comes from and what it is doing to their bodies.
So, since you won’t take my word for it, at least take Oprah’s (and Michael Pollan’s):
