Michael Pollan rallies Boulderites, businesses

BOULDER, Colo. — Michael Pollan, the professor, journalist and award-winning author, made two appearances in Boulder on Thursday to promote his books and to encourage the start of a "movement to reform our food system."

Pollan, who wrote "In Defense of Food," "The Botany of Desire" and "The Omnivore's Dilemma," is in the middle of a nationwide speaking tour. Pollan, who gave a brief talk and signed books at the Naturally Boulder Spring Fling and then spoke before a sold-out crowd at Boulder's Unity Church, said he decided to make a stop in Boulder because of the part the city plays in this "movement" to promote healthy, organic foods.
