Michael Pollan has yet another terrific piece in this week’s New York Times Magazine about the ethics of eating meat.

Worth a read no matter what your eating habits might be.
Incidentally, Pollan is lecturing at UC Berkeley tomorrow (Tuesday) night. I wish I could go.

I saw Michael Pollan that night… neener-neener.
