    ‘Omnivore’s Dilemma’ reinstated at WSU!


    Posted at 10:46 am by Sarah Jackson

    Hurray for the freshman at Washington State University, which recently reinstated Michael Pollan’s 'The Omnivore’s Dilemma’ as the common reading text for fall 2009.

    WSU alum William Marler, a former chair of the Board of Regents, has offered to pay the $40,000 costs of bringing Pollan to the Pullman campus, a move that swiftly brought the book back into the common reading program.

    As Kim Kidwell, associate dean of academic programs in the College of Agriculture, Human and Natural Resource Sciences, told Seattle Times columnist Jerry Large, WSU is the perfect place to explore agribusiness controversies and local food systems:
    "What I loved about this book in some ways is how much conversation it has stirred. People are talking about food and agriculture," she said, adding that WSU is an ideal place for those conversations.
    "That's what going to college is about. If we can't have these conversations here, I don't know where we can have them."
