Michael Pollan '76 Explores How to Change Your Mind
The latest book from journalist, food reform advocate, and award-winning author Michael Pollan '76 will explore how mind-altering psychedelics might be used to treat depression, anxiety, and addiction.
On March 27, Pollan spoke at the Stranahan Theater & Great Hall in Toledo, OH, as part of its Authors! Authors! series.
Toldeo Blade covered the event, which featured a Q&A discussion with WGTE Public Media, as well as questions from the audience.
"As much as nutritional science is changing, the big facts have been consistent for a long time, which is to say a plant-based diet is the best way to eat, small amounts of meat, it’s not going to hurt you ... and that the most important distinction, I think, is between highly processed foods and minimally processed whole foods," Pollan said at the event.
Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. It’s really all you need to know.
