Joel Salatin may be certifiably insane. Or he may be the smartest farmer on the planet. Or both. Salatin is the irreverent and passionate voice heard in author Michael Pollan's bestseller "The Omnivore's Dilemma". This Virginia farmer and food activist runs Polyface Farm and was keynote speaker at the 2010 Bloomington Eats Green conference. Salatin wrote his own book, "Holy Cows and Hog Heaven: The Food Buyer's Guide To Farm Friendly Food". This charismatic lunatic farmer talks a mile a minute about how people need a deeper understanding of where their food comes from. Salatin is definitely NOT a vegetarian - his farm produces mainly animal products. As Michael Pollan said in "The Omnivore’s Dilemma", animals at Polyface have many good days and one bad day. Joel Salatin talks about healing the land, healing the food, and healing our culture in this WFHB radio exclusive recorded on-location in Woodburn Hall at Indiana University on January 23, 2010.
