Nowadays we’re used to depending on the Comedy Channel to report the news. Michael Pollan was on the Daily Show yesterday, promoting his latest book, Food Rules.
Pollan theorized back in September, in a NYT article called Big Food vs. Big Insurance, that if health insurers are forced by reform to cover the unhealthy they could turn into an enemy of agri-business (which creates unhealthy people).
He makes the point well here, pointing out that the food industry today creates patients for the health industry.
