Say No To No Ethanol

The Krugman post below reminded me of this. From Edible Portland.

An audience of 600 people gathered at the Bagdad Theater in Portland on February 12th, in anticipation of Michael Pollan who was there to talk about his new book, In Defense of Food.

As we waited, Deborah Kane, Vice President of Ecotrust Food & Farms and publisher of Edible Portland, asked the crowd to help her prepare her introductory remarks for Michael's talk.

She wanted us to duplicate the exercise Michael had preformed so successfully in creating what has become the book's mantra:

Eat Food.
Not Too Much.
Mostly Plants.

In the spirit of this 2-word, 3-word, 2-word stanza, this is how the audience responded:

Grow corn
Just for food
Not cars
