Best-selling author Michael Pollan believes it doesn’t have to be that hard.

Just in time for all those New Year’s resolutions to eat better, KQED, PBS and Kikim Media bring you the broadcast premiere of In Defense of Food, a two-hour documentary based on Pollan’s No. 1 New York Times bestseller.

“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Michael Pollan’s seven-word solution might seem simple, but the journey to its discovery will take viewers around the world and deep into history. Travel to Tanzania, where members of the Hazda tribe still eat the way our ancestors did, and to France, where people enjoy better health despite the abundance of wine and cheese.

Along the way, Pollan shares scientific breakthroughs that have helped us understand the relationship between food and health, such as the mystery of breast milk, which is actually one-third indigestible. Pollan also cuts through decades of misinformation about diet, such as Dr. John Harvey Kellogg’s idea that protein was bad for people and the “nutritionism” that led to products like vitamin-fortified Schlitz beer.

What Pollan means by telling us to “eat food” is to eat what people ate before we became dependent on the highly processed products he calls “edible food-like substances.” Fortunately, simple changes can reverse the damage to our bodies and communities, and Pollan offers tools to help us counteract our tendency to overeat and our biological cravings for fat and sugar. He even addresses the holy grail of nutrition: getting kids to eat their veggies.

Pollan is the John S. and James L. Knight Professor of Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism and an award-winning author. His previous work includes The Botany of Desire, which KQED and Kikim Media presented as a two-hour documentary in 2009.

KQED Public Television

Eating is fun and essential to our survival. So why should we have to defend food? The reality is, our Western diet is ruining our health and our waistlines, and the barrage of conflicting dietary messages gives us nowhere to turn.

Off the Menu: Asian America — a new film about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, food, and culture — premieres Tuesday, December 8, at 8pm on KQED 9. Read an exclusive interview with the film’s director, Grace Lee.

News

KQED’s California Politics and Government Desk Adds New Editor Scott Shafer is a name (or at least voice) that’s quite familiar to most KQED members – as radio reporter, host of The California Report and senior correspondent for the weekly television series KQED Newsroom. As of October, Scott has taken on the new and expanded role of senior editor of KQED’s California Politics and Government Desk, leading the editorial direction of a three-person staff based in Sacramento and San Francisco and covering the state.

“There’s no more exciting place in the country to cover politics than California. It’s the ultimate laboratory for democracy,” says Scott. “I want our audience to understand what’s at stake in government and whether government 4

is working for them. Signing a bill or passing a ballot measure is just the first step. I want to explore what happens when new laws and ballot measures bump up against Californians in their daily lives, for better and for worse.”

Scott’s interest in politics runs deep.

Not only was he press secretary to San Francisco Mayor Art Agnos and chief of staff to Controller Gray Davis before joining KQED in 1998, but also, he related, “When I was 10 years old, my friend Al and I decided to conduct a presidential poll by randomly calling people out of the Buffalo, NY, phone book to see who they were planning to vote for. If that’s not the sign of a future journalist — or political bug — I don’t know what is!”

Colleague Marisa Lagos, who joined the desk in early 2015, is equally passionate about reporting on politics. “I realize that my job gets me a seat at tables — and an understanding of what happens behind the scenes — that most people don’t.

Being able to bring that in-depth analysis to the public is really rewarding. I also think that the old mantra about speaking truth to power is particularly important when you cover the people who spend the taxpayers’ money and make decisions that impact all of us. So peeling back the curtain and holding them accountable is something I feel very strongly about, particularly when it comes to their impact on vulnerable communities.”

Ben Venom, Punk Rock Quilter: What’s Your Style?

KQED Art School is on a mission to find out how artists develop their signature style and is asking some prolific Bay Area artists to tackle the compelling question.

Brontez Purnell: Alive, Well and Right Where He Wants to Be Inhibition, trepidation, self-suppression. These concepts are not part of Brontez Purnell’s emotional lexicon. As a result, it’s hard to look away when he’s performing and hard to stop reading what he pours out across the pages.

Cookie Swap! New Holiday Menus!

Make Bay Area Bites your go-to source for delicious holiday fare.

Head to the website in December for the recipes and mouthwatering photos.

But it’s not all about sating your sweet tooth. It’s also about planning an amazing Christmas/holiday dinner menu, including dishes like Autumn Root Vegetable Salad with Goat Cheese Crostini, Cauliflower Gratin, Spinach Soufflé and Roast Rack of Lamb with Herb Butter.

And if your’e looking for New Year’s Eve appetizer ideas, look no further than Bay Area Bites’ featured recipes for Caramelized Onion Dip, Steak Chimichurri Crostini and Prosciutto-Wrapped Pears with Blue Cheese. It’s all coming in December. Enjoy! kqed.org/bayareabites 6
