Author Michael Pollan
Michael Pollan grew up on Long Island, New York, and was educated at Bennington College, Oxford University, and Columbia University, from which he received a Master's in English. For the past 20 years, he has been writing books and articles about the places where the human and natural worlds intersect: food, agriculture, gardens, drugs, and architecture. A contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine and a Knight Professor of Journalism at University of California, Berkeley, Pollan is the author of numerous books, including "The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals" and "The Botany of Desire." His latest book, "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto," which offers an eye-opening analysis of America's food consumption and its impact on our health and environment, was given as a gift to our studio audience. Today, he joins Martha with some valuable healthy eating advice and shares his recipe for Salmon Wrapped in Fig Leaves.
