Taped by WGBH Forum Network, food writer Michael Pollan visited First Parish Church in Cambridge to talk about his book, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation.
Pollan discusses why people need to shift away from prepared foods to cooking their own fresh foods to control their diet, and why a Home Economics course is still relevant.
This talk was taped on May 13, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. Earlier in the day, Pollan sat down with Boston Public Radio and Greater Boston to talk about why Americans cook less than they used to.
