Why does a simple bunch of carrots cost more than a package of Twinkies? In this video from the Nourish Video Encyclopedia, best-selling author Michael Pollan investigates this question and its effect on our health and well-being.

In late October and November 2010, look for the Nourish: Food + Community television special on your local PBS station. If you’re an educator, a Nourish middle school curriculum guide will be available in October 2010.
