An Omnivore's Labor Day

If you're looking for a way to continue thinking about Pollan's book or to meet people very committed to the slow food movement, join Time for Lunch at Richmond Park on Labor Day. The Atlantic just ran an interesting piece about this nationwide potluck:

Who knows, maybe your professor will give you extra credit?
